This is probably old news for most on here. Those that have the FIAMM horn(s) usually do a direct swap with the factory horn and just bolt on the FIAMM choosing either the low note or the high note horn. I wanted both. I just like the sound of harmonies. Anyway, I posted some pics and a short video for those interested.

Link to the images.

Much better than stock. These are automotive horns rated at 110dbA at 2 meters. I bought from this Amazon seller.
Cost is a few dollars higher than you might find for individual horns but this kit includes the relay and 2 brackets and nuts to replace the stock bracket. I painted the brackets and the backs of the horns black. The relay that came with my kit didn't work which stumped me for awhile. However, once I had that figured out I purchased the relay and socket seen in the photos. This is a much better way to install in my opinion than wired direct through the horn button as these can draw some serious current which could burn out a horn button.

A wise move to ditch the stock horn. Don't you just love the sound of two horns blasting together? It's akin to car horns back in my day. Oh, and might I say... you have good taste in the mounting of those new horns!!

Looks good Keith. Looks like you grounded right to the bolt connection too. Did you have to remove some paint off the tab welded to the frame to get a solid connection?

Hard to remember but I don't think I took any paint off anywhere. Must have run a ground wire somewhere else.
