Reddit reviews FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster Low Note Horn

1. Horn, if you don't have one then, well you need to make sure you have a good horn before you ride that bike again. A knockoff soundbomb mini can be had for 17$ and it's louder than a car horn.
   
   
2. Emergency Braking. There may have not been enough space entirely to stop but there was time and space for you to brake hard enough to not smack into that car that hard. But since you did run out of space....
   
   
3. Swerving. There was space for you to counter steer hard into a swerve and try to match their direction. Horn+brakes+countersteering= you getting to yell at them for their stupidity.
   
   
4. Why are you popping wheelies and speeding on a public road in the middle of the dark? Come on man.
   
   
5. If you're on a bike, Everyone on the road IS TRYING TO FUCKING KILL YOU. Ride like everyone's trying to kill you.

If you're depending on that worthless beep-beep, good luck. One of the first mods I make on a new motorcycle is horn upgrade (there's a box of old stock horns in the garage).

Get a stebel air horn or a set of Fiamm Freeway Blasters (standard on an F-150), or any other decent horn.

And be careful out there, you're invisible!

Replace that horn. Easy, cheap. So many options.

I have a 2009 ninja 250. I installed the Freeway Blaster (low tone). It's on amazon and most local stores. I got it at my local Canadian Tire.

Here it is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000DINKPQ

I ripped out the rubber washer and just installed the metal nuts on metal. For some reason the threaded rod built into the freeway blaster is slightly shorter than the stock horn. But it installed just fine and is really loud. Just make sure you mount it with the open end facing down to prevent rain from getting in.

I installed this horn recently. It's much louder than the OEM horn. I don't think revving would be loud enough with my bike's exhaust.

A touring windshield for when it's cold out, frame sliders, tank grips for your knees, removable hard cases for storage. This awesome horn https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000DINKPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MiS.Ab6X7RFY3

I was disappointed with my horn (I can barely hear it) so I upgraded.

When I see these people, I make sure to never let them in.

Inevitably, they'll try to push their way in with their blinker on. That is when I press my horn to which I've installed 2 Freeway Blasters (high and low tone) and I stay on them until they stop and continue to wait.

If that fails to stop them, I follow them very closely and stay on my horn until they eventually move aside and let me pass. I then give them a nasty look. Sometimes I flip them off as well.

I've found this to be effective and educational. It was even more effective when I had air horns, but those compressors don't last me long, probably because I use them liberally and judiciously.

And if you really want to get good volume, get the high note along with it:

Buy several to really multiply the drown-out-ability.

Bought this exact one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000DINKPQ

I use this one and the high tone one and they are loud as hell.

You must take a part front bumper. But Ieave undercover bolts. You have to take other bolts tho from tire and top part. It opens like books. And you can just put it back. No car lifting. Its on youtube and amazon is pretty good. I just replaced with this.

I have 2 FIAMM 721X2 horns, they are the standard electromechanical type like this. There's really not much difference between this horn and any other standard automotive horn, they're all very similar.

Here's one for sale on amazon, but I got them as a two pack with both the high-low tone horns in one package from an auto parts store. Here's the exact converter I had.

I don't understand why this information is of any use, I would think component level model numbers like what chip was actually used in the converter, what the switching transistor, output capacitors, etc would be 1000x more useful.

I watched this vid and purchased the same horn soon after. It's decent, and not douche-level loud. He has a bunch of vids on wrenching and modding VStars.

You can get the horn on Amazon here.

Heated seats...sounds like you got the Mazda 3s Grand Touring. Assuming you have the factory HID's and LED tail lights, so no need to upgrade those. Unless you can find the clear projector lens to swap into your headlights.

Summer tires, if you live in the right climate. Extremely durable, better performing, and with better ride quality Koni FSD dampers as the OEM ones fail/leak prematurely. OEM big brake kit. Lots of advantages to this versus an aftermarket braking solution.

Do you have the manual transmission? OEM leather and piano black shift knob from European markets. OEM heated side view mirrors if not equipped, which I've found to clear away fog and rain pretty quickly. The Corksport Mazda3/Mazdaspeed3 steering wheel looks really, really good and almost OEM (black inserts/black stitching). Aftermarket HVAC knobs.

Speaking of rain, Valeo 900 Series/Ultimate wipers for a cleaner & more premium OEM look. Did the +1 driver/-1 passenger mod and lowered the passenger/right side windshield wiper to a more tucked position, and it won't flap at very high speeds or windy conditions.

LED interior/exterior lights - For the trunk, get this in the 5K color. For your license plate and front map lights, get these in the 5K color. Haven't found any rear dome festoon/DE3175 LED bulbs that I'm happy with yet (VLEDS, Retrofit Source, ijdmtoy, superbrightleds, Corksport, etc). Not bright enough, not white enough (usually a blue tint), bleeds different colors, etc. I may try an interior set from GTA Retrofits. For your glove box, either this in 5,000K or a Sylvania/Philips/Osram 194 LED bulb in 6,000K. Went with the latter since they were left over from experimentation and are actually closer to a 5,000-5,500K, even though they're listed as 6,000K.

Fiamm low tone horn to compliment the wimpy high tone.

There's more but that's all I have time for =)
