PERFECT for my Zero...

Behind the headlight?

There's lots of room under the plastic/faux tank area.

I like the idea, but the electronic chirping wont be heard as "big vehicle I dont want to pull out infront of"

What's the amp draw on the wolo?

I'll assume this is your FX.

What's the capacity of the aux 12v on a FX?

On a 16 DSR it's only 10a so I'm going with two conventional horns that draw about 7a total.

I replaced the 10A fuse with a 15A. (Yes, informed decision by an adult.) And used a relay.

I like it

Might do that myself if/when my setup lets me down.
The relay I'll be using will be a SPDT with the N.C. contact serving the Aux circuit so a toot of the horn disconnects it thereby keeping the amp draw to a minimum.

I have had bad boy horns on my other motorcycles before... there is a half second delay while the compressor spools up.
I usually end up keeping the stock horn, and running it. Not an issue on a battery powered 12v system, but I dont know if the zero can handle the surge.

So far my best has been a tie between the Hella Supertones and these old horns off of 1970s Cadillacs. Im sure there are other OEM car horns that are as good, but the Supertones you can buy brand new.
Of course there is a catch. They are HUGE and they draw a good bit of power. I never put an amp meter on them, but I know they require a relay.

Spec says 66 watts x2, so 11 amps by calculation. Yeah, that's too much for the stock button and fuse, and mounting them would be a royal pain as well. A friend has them on his BMW (car), they do sound really nice.

No problem on my Zero.
