One horn not working - peterbaron - 06-08-2020

While working on the HONDA emblem fitment,

I noticed a broken wire to one horn. No corrosion at all, just snapped:

Crimped and reinstalled new connector:

Tested operation of both horns = OK. Easy, peasy. Can tell you that one horn is very loud, two are ears killer, good safety and warning feature.
The funny thing is that, I used my horns twice during my today's trip and did not notice any malfunction..."thanks" to my perfect ear plugs.
Test your horn before every Biker

It interesting on the parts fiche that one horn is dirt cheap and one is expensive. The cheaper one must be found on numerous other models. All in all, it's a decent stock horn system--very loud.
