Want to replace horn

I recently got a Farbin horn.
Came with a pack of two horns.
Mounted one and tis LOUD as heck.
Impressive sound and by far the loudest I have heard.

IMO horns are pointless on a motorcycle, they do NOTHING for you other than expressing yourself AFTER you avoided something. Loud pipes save lives is BS as well. all it does is be loud AFTER you pass someone or piss of the dog that is chaceing you (happened to me) Get good at riding and practice panic stopping and object avoidance.
I put train horns on my POS car for a reason, to be ANOYING and helarious. IMO a rocket does NOT need a good horn or IMO any horn at all.
BUT if you must upgrade it (free country and all that jazz) the best electronic horn i have had in quality and longevity was PIAA and WOLO, but IMO they have the same flaws of all of these. CHEAP CHINESIUM
Im not a guru but i have done a TON of stuff like this and BY FAR again the 955 / VW torege horns are the best. they are TINY, cheap and CRAZY loud and LOW amp draw. why? GERMANS
all you need is
Wiring Harness 7L5971073 $40
High Tone Low Tone Horns 95563502101 and 95563502201 Used $60
a 4 post relay and some solder and shrink wrap .
I have tested every single thing that makes noise and moves with a very high end DB meter i have. these things BLOW SOME SERIOUS SOUND. You could eaisly fit them one on each side under the covers under the seats.
I actually wanted to do this myself but again... too much time, not enough train horns!
 
This is my setup of Denali horn .Just under the headlight . No muffled sound at all . Sounds like a train . I actually believe it might be too loud . I have noticed that people hesitate when they hear it .
They take time to search around and see what's coming at them . " This could just be my imagination "




 
"Loud pipes save lives is BS as well." they do get attention though, especially with new rockets 2.5 L if you are passing a car while being in blind spot of that car, the driver inside the car can feel the rumble even if he has loud music going on, as the rocket sound is very deep and unlike other bikes.

I am thinking to go to put nice OEM horn from a BMW / Benz on rocket as I like how they sound
 


they may get attention, like a horn, but in no way does it stop or prevent 99.9% of all the things that end up causing a motorcycle accident that causes bodily or property harm or death.
You clearly have never been in a quality vehicle. Our Panamera has double layer glass. i have been passed by full open pipe HD's that would normally jump scare me in a normal car, cant even hear or feel them in modern high end death machines. Remember, MOST of the bad drivers are the ones who have more $ than skill or a jeep.

So by this flawed logic, you should be rev banging and honking your horn every time you pass a car or are in any position something bad could happen. NO. be a good rider and pray for luck. Your loud pipes are not stopping that drunk driver, or that random matress falling off the back of a truck ect...
