Help me find this horn...

mindfulness · 04-22-2012, 12:21 PM

I'm googled out - does anyone know where I can get a repro of an old /5 Bosch horn, large, chrome?

Here's a pic:

Thank you!

Certainly the closest thing I've seen so far... Thank you. I'll give them a call and get the dimensions

Be warned, it's a Chicom piece of crap.
Used to sell them, won't anymore. If it's what I think it is, it's smaller too.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. Any sources you know of that have the right repro?

This one is close but it's not a repro and it has a black finish.

I believe that's the same horn as Capitol, at least the size is right. Ask Hans if it
A) has a warranty
B) Is Asian made
The reason I bring this up is because when we did sell the Asian Horns, they failed within a year.

Have you tried Motobins.I'm sure they would have it.

Bill Harris · 04-23-2012, 06:43 AM

Then you may have to go with the repro horn, then. The quaint--and correct-- chrome horn has pribably been NLA for 30+ years and back then was usually replaced by a pair of Fiamms. You may luck out and find take-off stock horn from 1973 that was replaced by dual horns...

I listed a perfect /5 horn on EBay a couple months ago....no wonder it brought nearly $100.00....

Now don't barf...but I found a couple on JC whitney. And even a cover for a standard horn.

Someone here is parting out a /5. You might try him. No telling what condition it's in, however.

Sniper X · 04-24-2012, 03:24 PM

I am going to look at a bunch of /5 parts this weekend. If he has a couple horns I am buying all of them. If you want one, I will save one for you as I need one as well. Local guy parting 5 /5s.
