After coping with that Fiamm problem for a couple of years they finally packed up and I found some "Motrax Hootaz" at £9.99 for the pair. Bloody good value and no need to isolate or fit a relay. They work great.
I'd rather spring for the $4 to $5 for the relay and to do 20 minutes' of wiring than have to replace the horn switch....one reason I went that route on my bike. Reduce the load, lengthen the life of the switch. Easy fitment as well. Fiamms sound GREAT....think "large pickup" or "small lorry"....tho not airhorns the Fiamms WILL get the attention of a cager in most cases. For the rest, hand grenades would not help.....
