My little RP has two horns, one which is a 6v lucas horn originally from a Panther 600 m/c and an original Rist horn which has been refurbished. I have a hidden switch that allows me to select either one. However I have become increasingly frustrated by the reluctance of the Rist to actually work when you need it, and even when it does the output isn't what you'd call earth shattering. I have taken it off the car and have replaced it with a brand new Italian made 6v klaxon which I bought from a French classic parts supplier. Rather than having a solenois buzzing against the diaphragm (as in the Rist) it is motor driven. They are available in 6v or 12v versions, in red plastic or chromed. I bought the cheaper 6v version with the red plastic cone, which I have since sprayed black. It fits straight on to the central bonnet support rail where the Rist used to sit and needed little modification to the power supply (spade connectors). The rivet counters would spot it immediately but to the unitiated it looks the part. Once the bonnet is closed you can't tell until you press the horn. It gives out a really loud OOoo-haaah which can scare old ladies from across the street and makes the Rist pretty redundant.
OK it's not exactly Kosher but if you're after that typical old style klaxon sound it's the "genoux des abeilles" or even the "couilles du chien".
Link to the website here - I think they also sell them on Fleabay: https://www.monancienne.com/fr-FR/klaxon...LT-K6V.htm
29€ is just over £25 in proper money (plus postage of course)
