Thanks for the replies guys. Yes, this gray thing is
"del-something or other" and is a snail-shell. Its
hideous, and I believe at some speeds makes alternating
hissing or whistling sounds that make me think somethings
falling off the bike.
I'll check out the Fiamm and Hella's. -tom

Attaches with an M8 x 20mm (?) socket head cap screw (allen head) through the hole above the semi-circle. O.E. was a Marelli unit, I used one from NAPA made by Fiamm for a close match on my '69. It was listed in their catalog as a warning horn for industrial equipment, not as a vehicle application. Nice gold cadmium plated unit (could be painted black for stock look), with a "Roadrunner" (the cartoon one) beep sound. Plenty loud if a relay is wired in. I can try to find the part number if needed. I'm very happy with the Hella units on my '72, but their location (and looks) may not suit everyone. Greg Bender has mounted dual Fiamm "snail-shell" style horns in a location similar to your present horn. Check out the horns on Jack Arnold's 850GT on my website (it's Loop of the Month for July). All depends on what you like I guess. Tom Christian wrote:
