Anybody put an airhorn on the CB11?

I think I've put them on every bike I've had except maybe the first one.

its not many but at least 3 or 4 bikes have had one. I like'm.

Maybe the cb's horns are loud and I won't need one. (don't have the bike just yet)

Yes, they do come in handy!!!.

Ya'll that decided you needed one.....what did you get and where did you put it?

I've gotten them as a unit but this one looks interesting...making for a easier/cleaner location/install.

they all kinda look the same... Maybe they are made by the same factory in Asia somewhere and retailers just put different names on them. like a lot of stuff these days.

The twin horns are very good as far as original equipment on a lot of bikes I've had.

Couldn't agree more. These are similar to the horns on my wife's Accord and they are louder than most other OEMs.

Yes, I separated the pump from the horn. Pump sits under the seat & the horn is attached to my left fork tube between the fork clamps. Had it on there about three years now. Love how loud it is.

thanks D.R.
I might do something. the stock horns are not as loud as an air horn. Loud horns might save lives.

This will be the first mod I make. If I can find the room to make them not as noticeable I’m going to use 2 sets of Fiamms,four horns and mount the compressor out of site. Don’t like the look of the trumpets hangin out in the open so will look for options to keep them out of site.

Keep us posted on how this goes. I am going to do this mod as well. In the meantime I'm gonna be a bit more careful.
I thought maybe I'd remove the stock horns and hook up the remote horn and put the compressor under the seat.

Check out the video on YouTube titled Air horn demo ZR-1. This is 2 sets of Fiamm air horns with 2 separate compressors,the compressors are about the size of an 8oz can.

Try this thread for some info on air horns, Stebel Air Horn, or other alternatives?

On my FRANKIN K project I wanted to use airhorns but there was no room behind the fairing to hide the actual horns so I’m using 2 GMC truck horns. How do I post pictures?

Flytym, see this thread noting that Photobucket is not worth using unless you're prepared to shell out a ransom. Imgur or Postimage are good replacements.
