Anyone fitted a loud horn? What one and where. Is it impacted by the canbus system? Gonna be interesting if I do this and the HID kit!

I'm also interested in changing the feeble horn if poss?? Anyone tried to find room for this one?

I bought the non-split version for my 2014 Fireblade but there was no chance of finding any room to fit!! Maybe the split version could work tho??
Also, anyone else hate the horn latency on the 2015? Drives me mad...wtf?? BMW, how hard can it be to include a horn that sounds when you actually press it rather than 500ms later??

That's the canbus wiring. Multi circuits on a wire. Same reason the flasher is delayed. I've ordered an FIAMM AM80 so will update when fitted. No need for a relay.

Ok so horn turned up today. Took off fairing to find this
unbelievable that there is a bespoke connector attached to the horn ffs!
going to phone the dealer to find out if I can snip the wires to change the horn over

The plug is attached to the wiring. The socket is on the horn itself. The datalogger port was behind it (looks like the slick plug port)

Got this part number from BMW
crimped spades onto end of yellow wires
fitted in place of other horn and tried various angles and this is only one that worked

Horn is definitely louder. Can hear it at 80 over the wind noise
