Has anyone tried a Motohorn? They sell for $65. The price seems a bit low for the claims made, I’d like to hear from any Brothers that have tried one.

Thanks!

Have you received it? Mounted it? How's the quality, out of the box? Any videos to share?

If your curious what the Motohorn actually sound like fast-forward to 4:55
It sounds ok, but not quite like a train horn, as it only has one horn, I have train horns on my Peterbilt, and it has 5 horns

Well that's disappointing. It sounds NOTHING like the video they have on their web page. I didn't expect multi-tone - because you're right - theirs is only one horn. But I expected something a bit bolder. Not really impressed with that sound.

I have one. I hid the compressor inside the stock horn cover. I do like the sound although I doubt 155db. I have a sound meter at work will give a shot. It is so much better than stock.
also with the compressor a quick bump can be used as courtesy honk. Short of having an air tank and horn like a big rig or train it is decent.
I Have read online reviews that state if you use a direct wired relay and use the horn wires to activate it the noise is louder. the standard horn wires are not enough to run the power needs of the compressor.

Nice. Can you post a video of it so we can hear it? I saw someone's video and it sounded NOTHING like the video on the Motohorn web site!

Why did you mount it so it collects water?
