You can buy Fiamm horns at any old generic auto parts store, I put them on my bmw, but not on my KLR (yet) as you need to figure out a place to mount them, although i imagine there are listers who have solved this one. Get the hi-lo euro models, they are about $13 each, and I recommend one of each, you'll have a real horn that wakes up the sleeping lane changing SUV dummies. Right down on the frame downtube looks good to me, even tho I am at my office and the KLR is at home.

Is there any reason one couldn't just pick one out of a cage at the junk yard? I've been meaning to replace mine, too. --- monahanwb@... wrote:

What's a cage? The back 40? No guarentee (I can never spell that word) it'd be any louder than stock though, right? -----Original Message----- From: Barry Pedersen [mailto:KLRjock@...] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 12:02 PM To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [DSN_klr650] Re: Horn?

Has anyone fitted a louder (MUCH louder) aftermarket horn to their KLR? It was the first thing I did to the monster (http://www.california.com/~phdarch/horn.jpg), and it has saved my a$$ a number of times. But the confined space around the KLR horn would seem to prevent a similar solution. Paul A16 01 M750D SF, CA

Hey Paul, yup, that was one of the first things *I* did also. And it was one of the first procedures I had on my website, right after the valve adjustment, I think... http://klr6500.tripod.com/horns.htm They DO make a big difference!

there is a small screw on the back of the stock horn. Unscrew it until it falls out and lose it in the dirt. That may make it a little louder.
