    Roadster horn option

    I upgraded my horns on my Roadster about six years ago to a Hella bike horn but one of the horn has stopped working, and it doesn’t sound as clear as it used to. What are my options for a new stronger horn can be heard clearly over the sound of my engines? Would love to hear people thoughts…

    I used a Stebel Nautilus on my build. Great little horn. Plenty loud and has a nice air horn tone to it that seems to fit the character of the car (IMO).

    one-wire horn? Check your mounting tab (also grounding point) for corrosion.

    The Wolo Bad Boy and Stebel Nautilus are actually the same exact horn.
