Anyone seen a banchie horn before??

How does this stack up against the air horns?? Has anyone heard of or seen this product before??

Great idea.

I setup one of my bikes similar to this with the stock horn option and additional air horn if needed. Both hooked to the stock horn switch. I just additionally hit a custom made switch under the grip were your fingers always rest actuates them both. Addition of flashing light is a good option.

I like!! How Much??

When I watched the video I thought, "Wow, sounds just like my Wolos".

 

Looking at his products, he is offering:

 

1) Control module with wiring harness.

2) Control module with wiring harness and what sure looks like a black Stebel/Wolo Nautilus.

3) Control module with wiring harness and what sure looks like a chrome Stebel/Wolo Nautilus.

 

So, his value add is the control module. The control module does 3 things:

 

1) Delays air horn for 1/2 second so you can Beep-Beep the stock horn.

2) Activates the high bean headlamp with the air horn.

3) Cycles the air horn and lights on and off.

 

I really wouldn't want the 1/2 second delay. When you need to wake someone up 1/2 second can be fatal. As far as cycling on and off - what is the benefit? We're not looking for a siren.

 

I do like the lights idea. I've considered adding relays to my horn circuit to light up both the fog and passing lamps if I hit the button.

You are right again Carl. That delay could be very bad.

Novel, I like it's concept but I'll stick with dual Wolo's. I agree with Carl's observation with the 1/2 second delay, and I personally think a steady air horn blast is much more attention getting than a pulsing beep. If you just quickly hit the Wolo it gives a polite beep albeit short...

I know I want something a lil more stout than stock, was thinking that we used to use a relay for wig wags on a sqyuad car. Why couldn't I hook up a horn to one side and high beams to the other and just set them on another switch??

If you look at police cars or fire engines, it is the alternating siren that catches your attention. Having a horn system like shown in the video would catch more attention... but would mean that you are a more than a few seconds away from an issue.

I have a Stebel horn on the right side and might consider something like this to replace the horn inside the fairing.

As for lights, I ride with high beam and passing lights during the day, low beam and passing lights during the day so I wouldn't benefit from the headlight connection. Riding with high beams definitely makes you more visible during the day ! My passing lights are brighter than the headlight (have the Silverstar Ultra) and that makes a difference.
