Hella Horns

[lackskill_imp]

I recently purchased a set of Hella Supertone Horns to mount on my 2013 CB1100. The package came with a relay. Do I need to use this relay or just connect the horns to the stock wiring. Anyone with experience with Hella Horns?

I cant answer your question about the relay but I am really interested to see what you think of the horns once you get them hooked up. Please keep us posted.

The fuse fitted to the CB1100A is listed as a 10 Amp unit, this apparently feeds the horns and stoplight; the new horns would work without the relay but I suspect your switchgear/fuse might suffer as a result. The quoted power for the horns you propose fitting is 2x66w which equates to a theoretical 11amps at 12volts, so yes I would definitely fit the relay.

I'm sure Honda designed a safety margin into their electrical, but I completely agree. No reason to risk electrical problems over a simple relay install.
