Hella Supertone Horns

[brakingdrift]

These Hella Super Tones will chew up all other Stebel/Nautilus rubbish for breakfast.

 

I've tried all the other brands of snail-type horns, yes they sound loud - but only to the human ear.

 

The real test is to have them installed on different bikes, have all of them lined up of equal distance from a BMW/Mercedes/Volvo/Lexus, then have a friend sit inside the car with the hi-fi playing the same track at the same volume, then hit each horn to test it.

 

Most horns sound loud to the human ear but cannot be heard over traffic, superb vehicular noise insulation, and music volume.

 

Disc horns are able to pierce through traffic noise, but the Hella Super Tone beats the rest hands down in terms of penetrative power over traffic noise, car sound-proofing AND music.

 

Sorry to say, I bought the last batch of Super Tones from Mustafa for my bikes and family cars. One shot installed 4 sets... (2 bikes, 2 cars)

 

They are too good to pass up. Some more S$55 per set from Mustafa. Installation DIY = free. Shiok.

 

For bikes going for inspection, it will pass inspection only if your bike comes with dual tone horns in stock form. My bike failed inspection because the horn was too loud, and dual tone (originally bike came with a tiny single tone horn as stock).

So after I failed the inspection, I rode outside the inspection centre, disconnected one side, and went back for a re-test. Subsequently it passed. Reconnected the 2nd horn upon collecting my Inspection Pass Certificate and leaving the inspection centre.

 

This is one of the retarded things about bureaucracy. Whether or not louder horns are better for saving bikers' lives, they don't care as long as regulations stipulate that any form of modification outside of stock trim is illegal. But for most big bikes, should pass inspection.

 

If can MO, please count me in as I want to get for my friend's car too.

 

Thanks!

 

ps: PLEASE remember to install with the relay. Most mechs will tell you it's not necessary because they are lazy to do the wiring. But the relay will release the full potential of the Super Tones. Without the relay, it will work only at 50-70% volume. The relay comes with the set of Super Tones in the box.

where in SLT did you get your relay? i was all over that place and could not find automotive relays...they only had electronic relays that handled 5A...sigh.

[MC28]

I myself using PIAA Sports Horns with All Weather Cover. Not as loud, but does the job. Reason for choosing this is because of the low current it sucks. By right, it says no need relay. Me being kiasu, put one heheh.

 

Same here but i got the 1st batch of Piaa Sports Horn(Comes as a single horn without the cover) and so far loving it.Blasted it and boy, those damn cars got s shock out of it..Even my friend who was riding behind me..

 

I do rem for putting on a pair, a relay is recommended..

[iamlefty]

thanks buddy how bout the relay? can i just plug and play it ? or do i need anything else?

[scubasimon]

get the relay still...cos even though you are using 1, the current draw is pretty high. i don't have a relay yet though...but i risk getting my switch burned.

[iamlefty]

guys are there anybike shop that are sellin this horn with fixing..can pm me the price thanks

The hella horns. need to use the relay because

1) switch contact(the horn switch) will "weld" together due to high current flow n cause horn to be always on.

2) hella horn draw high current, likely the horn switch is not able to take it for some times n cause the above.

3) horn switch replacement is exp n troublesome compare to just change the relay.
