Quack Quack
HI , Im running an a/c circuit on my scooter and the pathetic quack quack horn is getting on my nerves , is there any way of converting it to a loud beep beep type without having to fit a battery ? cheers
If you are using a standard Lambretta type horn? A quack is about as good as it gets. I would imagine there are better motorcycle horns out there somewhere.
Ive gone full dc and used my old gts horn as I fitted a
Stebel Nautilus ear bleeder
the old gts horn is very good on my lammy not sure what it would be like without a battery my other gp isnt running yet but I have a small horn from epay on there which was load when I tested it with a battery

If you go DC with a Wassel you don't have to have a battery. I ran both of mine without but did fit a small capacitor about the size of a fat AA battery, It ran a standard beep type DC horn but not enough to run air horns till I fitted small alarm batteries. Its such a simple fix and leaves the door open to other applications like LEDS that work. I have batteries on both now and the only problem I have had is leaving the lights on in the shed that deep drained the battery and it would not take a charge from the bike. It still worked but the lights would dim in a few minuets. You can get chargers that will recharge a battery in that state but they cost more than a new battery and it was 4 years old anyway.
