The twin horns on a BMW K75 (P) for Police model are seriously loud. They are also small and at the right timbre to get Tut's mummy out of his crypt.

Anywhere from $750 to $1000 in good condition.  The crazy "collectors" drive up the prices and make them hard to find.  Get a friend who works in engine maintenance.   :mrgreen:   :cheers:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

i know that this is a ridiculously old thread...but i had to resurrect it. i was searching for posts about aftermarket horns...and i found this thread. The funny thing is, that i bought this bike from some guy (who was not kingsfan33) and have been trying to get rid of that HORRIBLE horn. It is huge and unbelievably ugly. And the worst part is...it doesn't even work! i can't believe that guy paid 100 bones for that thing.  :cookoo: i want to try and track him down...because apparently, he burned the engine up and had it replaced. And i can tell those pictures were before the engine meltdown.

Small world!  Welcome to the board.   :cheers:

Yes, I will agree that the horn does nothing for the bike. 

About this burned up engine and such...  Are you saying you bought a mis-represented bike?

Thanks for the welcome, GeeP.
No...not really. i wasn't told that the bike was a salvage title till i got out to look at it. So, i was a bit surprised. And when i was about to sign for the bike is when i realized it was a salvage. Of course i asked why...and that's how i found out that the previous owner (kingsfan, i'm assuming) had burned up the engine and replaced it. i got a good deal on it, i think. And it was pretty apparent that the salvage title didn't come from a wreck...and there was evidence of the engine burning up - the back of the front fender is still melted. :(

Ahh, I see.  Well, as long as you got a good price on it.  GS's are easy to rebuild.  Once in good shape they'll go for quite a while.
