From: Twibil on 12 Apr 2010 22:39 Just installed a new Fiamm "Freeway Blaster" this past weekend horn to replace the wimpy factory original. So I'm riding in the rain today when some guy driving a white Honda Odyssey mini-van full of kids suddenly moves to the left across three lanes of freeway traffic -straight towards me- without benefit of signaling, looking, or taking the cell-phone away from his left ear. Insert five-second 120 dB "BLARRRRRRRRRRT!" courtesy of Fiamm. The clown got half-way into my lane before he awoke and jerked the van back into the center lane, whereupon he gives me the both-palms-up open-mouthed "What did *I* do to deserve that?" look. Glad to report that the new horn works as advertised, but sorry to report that they're still trying to kill motorcyclists out there, and they're still pretending that it's all the motorcyclist's fault, too.

Do you have any photos of your horn installation? I looked up the product, and it seems rather large (8+ inches wide). Where did you find to mount it? Also, ain't that a car horn? (Not that it matters, but just saying ...) Thanks, Datesfat
