When I got the Nomad, I really hated the OEM stock horns. They carried absolutely no presence. So, over the winter I upgraded the OEM horns to a set of set of Fiamm Freeway Blaster electric horns with custom relay ~ High Note Horn ~ Low Note Horn. These made the bike sound like a Buick and I liked the sound but there were times that I felt that I still didn't have the dB sound I wanted. At the 2007 VN750 Gathering, I heard a few of the Stebel style air horns and I got to thinking. My mind was made up after having again to toot the horn at a car attempting to occupy my space on the road. 5 minutes after that incident, I was in the store with a set of Wolo Bad Boy Air Horns in the cart. I elected to keep the Fiamm horns in the OEM location and have the Wolo air horn in addition for a total of three horns on the Nad. Total installation time - under 1 hour including making a custom bracket and the wire harness.

 The Wolo air-horn is attached to the bike using a windshield mount I had laying around the garage. It is attached to the 1.35" downtube with a custom cut aluminum bracket putting it right where I want. |

 The Wolo is powered by a jumper off the Fiamm Highway Blaster. All three horns are powered from the distribution box in the left side panel on the bike and triggered by a 30A relay hooked to the OEM horn wires. I initially blew the 15A fuse in the dist. box so I went with a 20A fuse. When the horns are applied, the voltage meter drops to red, but seeing that the horns are not usually used for more then a few seconds this should not pose a problem. The 20A fuse withstood a 10 second blast (causing cars 1/4 mile ahead of me to hit the brakes). |

Rivco Air Horns... 129dB of Screaming "Drop the Cell Phone and Get the Hell out of My Way Because I Own the ROAD!!!"For years I've dreamed of mounting a set of these puppies on the Vulcan. In 2003, it became a reality...One thing to keep in mind on my bike is that it is an Ear-Shaved VN750. That means that I don't have the air-filters nor the surge tank in the way. This opened up a lot of room for me. I can not say if this modification will work on a VN750 without the Ear-Shave Mod. |
