      I'll suggest Roots windtone twin horns...Sounds awesome...

      but you may need proper relays though..
      What do I intend to do? Stuff ZMR drivetrain into an Ambition chassis and watch others run scared!

          Go for the Pulsar horns ------ they are available in diff ranges

          350(market)
          500(original)

          Else go for the Air Horns - single air horn is enough and u have a good high sound

          They costs less and sounds high and takes less battery power
          if you want more fancy then they are more varieties available
          Dual horns
          4 sounder
          8sounder
          Fancy multi sounder
          Ghost horn
          Whistle horn

          many many and many ............ but beware of COPS if you goona use fancy horns

              hi pradeep,

              if your bike is the ES version then battery would probably be 5 to 9amps..

              so ideally you could go for windtone horns (only issue being that windtone are not legal for two wheelers) but i had them on my bullet for over a year and never had issues..

              fiam is a great company if you can find them in the market or u could look at stebel / hella for the same. never ever have to get the contact points for the horns checked ever for the brands..

              otherwise, look for 'addon horns' you will get regular horns in sets for bikes.. they come as OE on hero honda bike...

                        Try Alagendra parts store at cross cut road and balaji opposite alagendras....Roots is a coimbatore product...The factory is in ganapathy area...check if u can get it from the factory...might save u some cash!!
