If anyone wants one i bought it from Bells Bicycles in Hastings(UK) but i saw today they have a website you can order from http://www.bellsbicycles.co.uk

It does seem really good quality, its just great fun, and when people walk out in front of you it sure does make them look!

Should be easier to find than the existing horn button - which because of the unusual location I struggle to find quickly when I need it!
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm so used to the horn being below the indicator switch. :cry:

Just picked up my new 2011 PCX from the dealer today. All the way home I kept signalling my turns by beeping the horn. After 45 years of motorcycling, this is going to take some time!

Welcome to the forum Greg, Iv only been riding 4 years and i still find it hard to adjust, especially once i get off my larger bike and jump on the PCX, I am not sure why they put the buttons in that order? :?

Not a problem for me as I never use the horn.
I prefer the indicator switch where it is on the PCX.
Other new Honda models have this configuration too, it makes sense really as the indicators should get used far more than the horn.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

gn2, you never use a horn? ever? ever, over all the years? How do you (key word coming) Avoid it's use when that particular person steps out in front of your "rolling right towards them scoot,"...... And, you yourself cannot swerve to Avoid him/her (due to vehicles perhaps surrounding you)? Wouldn't you want to warn them to step Back? Tis a puzzlement. I appreciate good advice and direction always :P ;)
So this bike horn led me to looking further and I came across this Toot for a shout out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhafZy1sccM

It's flipped on the Silverwing, which leads me to unintentionally honking at people... o_O


Anyways, funny mod. I bet that's hilarious to honk at people with. :D
