The main reason people go to an aftermarket horn is to get something much louder than stock. The typical thing to do is to wire it using the stock horn wire to provide switched power to initiate the relay. Most installs will be directly off the (+) battery terminal which you can see when you pull the seat off. The relay and direct wiring (hopefully with a fuse) is to provide more amperage to the device than the stock wire / fuse setup might provide. The "relay" can be anything from a higher end protected unit to a 5 buck radioshack special. rw

Aftermarket Horn Trouble
Hey there. Im new to the group. The guy I bought my Tw from put a aftermarket horn on the bike and it stopped working a little while ago. Any ideas on why? Any ideas on how I could fix? Thanks.
