  21. But it will happen with an aftermarket horn installed with aftermarket wiring,
  22. direct from the battery, to handle the incresed load.  I have the problem off
  23. setting off the Fiamms when I'm lock-to-locking it while the loaded 24-liter
  24. tankbag is aboard.  Not a good thing when you're walking the bike off the
  25. apartment patio at 6am.

  27. Typical Fiamms Loudness Story: I was buckling the straps of the bag one
  28. morning and accidentally hit the horn button.  Now I know how the BDI cagers
  29. feel -- the neighbor happened to look over as I did it and said I jumped about
  30. a foot.
