November 25, 20169 yr I'm looking for a horn that will pass an mot. I ordered what I thought would be sufficient off tinterweb but it was rejected as it wasn't a single tone constant. Can anyone recommend a particular one to get as opposed to just suggesting a battery powered horn.
November 25, 20169 yr My MOT garage always passes with this horn. But then every MOT tester seem to differ....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M-Part-CP2200-Megahorn-Super-loud-and-effective-electronic-horn-/162121169277?hash=item25bf2cb97d:g:J0EAAOSwOVpXdEK8 Edited November 25, 20169 yr by gasserguy

November 25, 20169 yr Author try this one http://www.thehornit.com/the-hornit-db140/the-hornit-db140.html they are great and legal Both mot stations I spoke to said they wouldn't pass that horn, as it's exactly the same tone I played to them today.

November 25, 20169 yr I couldn't find a single tone battery horn, so bought a proper horn to wire in. Haven't done it yet but it looks like the wire to the thermostat for the fan will need to be the power source for it. Edited November 25, 20169 yr by totty79
November 25, 20169 yr Back in the good-old bad-old days we used a rubber bulb blowing through a reed and a 6 inch metal cone. They were utterly pathetic and some didn't work at all. At machine examination, if one didn't work, every else in the queue blew theirs and the examiner would pass it.
November 26, 20169 yr Correct. And, according to the current MOT regulations, a bulb horn is still acceptable on a pre-73 bike as long as it can be heard above the noise of the engine.
November 26, 20169 yr Author So I go to yet another tester and ask him about the horn I have, he says, ye that'll be fine....cool I thinks....then he says, remember the tyres have to be E marked etc, I tell him it has not for road use in USA & Canada, he says, nah they won't pass.
November 26, 20169 yr Author Scratch that, seems tyres marked with an E and a circle round it are legal, which both michie and dunlop have.
