Well... here's a fun one.
I've had this motorcycle horn sitting in my office for a LONG time. It was intended to go on a Cafe Racer motorcycle I built and sold a couple of years ago, and I never got a chance to use it.
Anyhow, I had the crackhead idea of connecting it to a Makita Drill battery and seeing if it would actually work - and *BOOYAH*, it did! The motorcycle horn is VERY loud, and hopefully doesn't suck up the battery like a car horn would.
The wiring was very, very simple using a bar mount push button. I do unplug it when not in use and I still have yet to see how long a charge will last. Below are pics of the push button and the mounted horn.
...and here are the three levels of warning. Can't wait until I get to use my new horn on a clueless victim!
