I will be cautious Rizzle. Right now I’m looking for a suitable horn. Once I have, one, plus an alarm, I’m getting an auto electrician friend to wire them in.
Something like this is where I would start..

Car Single Horn Loud Waterproof 12V High Tone Snail Electric Horn for Motorcycle Pickup RV SUV MPV Van Electric scooter. (Black Low) Amazon.ca

Horns are pointless on a motorcycle for anything to do with saftey.
I disagree. They are used to “inform other vehicles of your presence on the road” (that’s how British law states their use).

For drivers that are half asleep (most of them as I’m sure you already know) it stops them moving in to the space you’re occupying.

But they only work if they can be heard, and the standard R3 horn is useless at anything over 50 😡

That is road use, not safty. No horn will do anything better than you avoiding things.

I believe the original post was about improving the horn above the standard Triumph offering that comes with the Rocket 3.

Road safety vs usefulness of a horn, where or when it is used, etc.. is just noise. Pun intended.
Indeed
But when has that ever stopped any side debates...
Plenty of good horn upgrade options.
Personally i found that the 955 /957 porsche cayenne horns are amazingly loud, sound nice, supper small, and best of all usually $20 at a local pick and pull or $60 on ebay.
I have a few various small horns I have acquired and by far the smallest was these porsche ones. They need a lot of amps though.

I have that kit, upgraded it with a zenith ob2 and 2 10 gallon tanks
It's legit 145bd at 100feet away.
if you had bags.. totally durable. But trust me... you want to be in a vehicle with the windows up to use this.
I had it wired to a key fob for my trunk latch and I was under the car once and the keys were in my pocket. I'm confident that I lost some of my pregnant hearing that day.
