replacing the horn. (nc30)
the horn is a little weak on the nc30 nd i was wondering if anybody has replaced it with something better.
i see they sell on ebay a Horn Relay Wiring Kit Plug-N-Play kit for the very loud Stebel Nautilus.
has anyone tried this or will it just overload things and not worth doing.
thanks in advance

Try adjusting it, mine is not too bad.
Back off lock nut and wind the adjuster screw in or out a 1/8th to 1/4 of a turn or so.

I've replaced virtually every horn on Hondas I've owned with Motrax Hootaz
OE horns from the big H are piss poor.

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: replacing the horn. (nc30)
did you have to do any mods for the motrax horns to work correctly and what sort of noise does it make?

Re: replacing the horn. (nc30)
Just split the supply to feed two snail shaped horns. Simple to make up a harness with crimp terminals. It's quite a nice twin tone sound and much louder than any OE bike horn I've come across. As loud as the horn on my 106 anyway and French car horns are generally quite beefy (usually because the brakes are shit lol).
