Hi Tim,
glad you got out of this without any damage. I was not as lucky as you were, a big fat
motorhome (road whale, like someone said), hit me a few days ago, see my "close encounter of the
second kind".
I will definitely change the horn as well, the original one is not worth anything. I already
have a pair of twin car horns, they are from a Ford Granada, really loud. I haven't fitted them
so far 'cause I want to get an appropriate V2A bracket and I'd like to get them chromed if possible,
even though that might be a bit expensive. But I didn't pay anything for the horns.
As far as the amperage is concerned I'm pretty sure it'll work o.k., car horns don't draw too many
more amps than the original horn would. I'm going to put them on temporarily this weekend to see
if it'll work, I let you know then.
Safe riding,
Alfred
