I want a louder horn for my '02 GS

I installed a Stebel horn on each of my bikes. No pics, but a little creativity works for mounting them. And DO use the relay.

The FIAAM dual hi-low tone horns can't be beat for the price. E-Z install too. I got em from Rider Warehouse (even though they are made right here in Cadillac, MI, I could not buy direct)
Can that connect in place on a one horn line?
You'll need a relay, same as the Stebel.

I bought a single tone, lower tone, at Pep Boys, bolted right up to the same mount as the stock and it's much louder. I don't think it was over $20.
If you only use a single tone it's best to use the lower tone as the sound carries better.

Here is the Stebel air horn and the vendor from whom I got mine. They were great to deal with and delivered promptly. This came with the relay in a kit with simple instructions. The only interesting portion was getting it rigged with a bracket to mount the horns open-end-down in place of the original biscuit horn between the front pipes behind the headlamp on my R1100RT-P. It is a head-turner and will take an unobservant caged lane changer out of their slumber every time. Just watch out for the flying drool as the driver's head snaps around...

buy one from Andrew,, and get the kit, makes it ez. on my r1100gs it was a straight plug in, the r1100's already have a relay, I think the 1150's do too.
Yeah the spade connections don't quite match up size wise, but they are secure enough.

One option - is the low tone horn from an RT.. it plugs right into the harness (assuming the GS has the same pancake horn as the R1200R) - mounts on the existing bracket and is considerably more penetrating in sound. It's what I have on my '07 R12R..
