Which Bike? I dont think you need to get your coils rewound in order to use the Windtone horns on your bike without discharging the battery., IF your facing battery draining issues, then install a cut out in between so that less load is exerted on the battery.

its true that windtone horn can be driven without rewinding the coil,u please inform us make and model of ur bike.

also cutout is just a switch which bypass the load on the switch not the battery,so its a misconcept that cutout will draw less power

+1 to what the Doc says. The cut out is there just to save the stock switch's ass from burning off

Yup, relays or cut outs doesn't save battery but saves the switches.

First tell which bike are you riding. A bike with 2.5aH battery also can withstand windtones easily. Rewinding is not needed.

Check the batt clamps and fuse carrier for corrosion, normally fuse carriers are prone to corrosion due to acid fumes/spillage. If its a kick start bike, u wont notice it until the batt is almost flat. I used to drive a 3 pipe air horn on my old smurai with a 5AH batt without any issues.

Samurai has a 2.5 Ah battery, right? You changed it to 5 Ah? How did you get that to fit? Did you use it on the stock charging system?

A simple batt chamber expansion by change of one side batt clamp, only down side, I've to make an opening on the lower side of the side cover to make it fit, but wont notice it easily. No other changes in charging systems as its morethan enough for it.
