    Bought from Ebay. Just punch in Hellas. They are circular twin horns with a red cover. About 8 inches in diameter.

    Because when some dumbass cuts you off - you can vent a little work frustration in their direction. ;)

    chris4x4, how about a reverse beeper? he might actually like that though...

    my lab is very confused by the stock horn, i guess that means i need to replace it. it does sound like the horn on my ninja 250

    I have done all the Reverse things I can think of. I used the beepers. I used 5 model rockets taped together, tied them to some "Gay Pride" streamers, and when he went into reverse, the rockets shot off pulling out the "gay pride" streamers. Im running out of ideas. :confused:

    bakerism - where did you install the horns and about how much $$$ was the project?
    That is very cool; even my wife wants me to add them to (her van) my truck. I'm ordering them tomorrow :D

    no cutting at all...
    You simply pull them off. No tools are needed either. Just use your hand to pull the cover/baffle off.
