Rivco's "Magnum" Electric Horn

[Jamie]

Hello,

Have a couple of pending orders from my fellow Rocket club (RCE) members for that horn. Any testimonial in terms of sound (Rivco claiming 118 decibels) , ease of installation, value-for-money etc. most appreciated BEFORE I let Rivco ransom my credit card

Thanks much. Jamie

A bump for Jamie. Does anyone have this?

Not I. What does "bump" mean. The Stebel "Nautilus" Airhorn is very loud. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/2137/ Twas not at all difficult to get under the left side cover. That is a pair of Rivco Magnum horns, isn't it??

What does "bump" mean.

Just a term used to move a thread or topic to the top of the page. Some people don't look past the first few posts so "bumping" a thread is a good way remind people of it.

Well then bump and grind away

Thanks Vonbonds. Another grateful bump . Will check the link above out. Some folks think that 118 decibels (Rivco's claim) are not loud enough. Not surprisingly, many of them have pipes that are probably way louder than that . The search goes on. Thanks. Jamie

Obstinacy

And I am still searching for the perfect aftermarket horn for my club members. Which BTW shows they can't find one in Western Europe.

LOUD, no doubt, but not too bulky... also as readily Rocket-compatible as possible , i.e. requiring only a modicum of wiring expertise... and certainly NO third-party bits and pieces, let alone home-made (?) mounting brackets, contrary to the afore-mentioned Italian offering.

That's why I brought up the Rico "Magnum" horn in the first place. It's offered --at a stiff price-- with a Rocket fit-up kit but the install looks a bit awkward to me. And I am not sure I got any first-hand feedback about it here.

Thanks folks. Jamie

Jamie,

I'm afraid I can't help you regards the Rivco Magnum air horn, but if price is a factor you might want to consider the stebel air horn, which I have installed behind the left side cover on my R3. Its plenty loud and at $40 is a lot more affordable.

Regards

Tony

TonyMac, got any pics of the horn install? Is it totally hidden? Can you still hear it good? Sorry, got real excited there for a minute
