Re: Horn recommendation - standard conversion
I had one of these 1950's era oogah horns mounted in one of my first cars. I picked up at a flea market someplace. Way too big for a bike, but you could just about make that sucker talk. Actually, it was more of a freestyle rap. I miss that horn bad.

Re: Horn recommendation - standard conversion
I bought one of these on sale at Princess Auto about 10 years ago.
Before installing it I painted the outside of the horn black. I didn't like the way the back of it collected dirt so I capped it with a spray can lid and a few years later I cut an inch or so off of the horn. I don't have a really good pic of it but you can see it in this one if you are looking for it

If you can get your hands a a mid 90’s Buick Roadmaster horn they are quite loud and have a small footprint.
