Full details
The Oxford OX780 is a 12V motorcycle horn designed for riders of motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds who need a louder, more effective audible warning. Its key benefit is a powerful 105dB sound output, significantly increasing rider visibility and safety on the road. A minor caveat is its specific 12V requirement, meaning it's not compatible with older, lower-voltage systems. This horn serves as a direct replacement or an upgrade, featuring a chrome finish and a universal mounting bracket for straightforward installation.

FAQs
Is this horn suitable for a 6V motorcycle?
No, the Oxford OX780 is designed specifically for 12V electrical systems. It will not function correctly or safely on a 6V system.
Do I need to modify my motorcycle's wiring?
In most cases, it serves as a direct replacement and may not require modification. However, basic electrical connection knowledge is recommended, and some minor adjustments to wiring may be needed depending on your specific motorcycle model.
How loud is 105dB?
105 decibels is a very loud sound, comparable to a lawnmower or a passing train, ensuring your horn is easily heard over ambient noise.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, with the included universal mounting bracket and basic tools, most users can install this horn themselves. If you are uncomfortable with electrical connections, consider consulting a professional.
What are the dimensions of the horn?
The package dimensions are 5.75 inches (length) x 3.75 inches (width) x 0.3 inches (height). The horn itself will fit within these approximate constraints.
Will this horn fit on any motorcycle?
It is designed to fit a wide range of 12V motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds due to its universal mounting bracket. Physical space constraints on very small scooters or very old motorcycles might be a factor.
Troubleshooting
Horn does not sound
Check that the 12V power supply is correctly connected to the horn's positive terminal and that there is a good ground connection. Verify the horn button and wiring harness are functioning correctly.
Horn sounds weak or distorted
Ensure the wiring connections are secure and that the battery voltage is sufficient (at least 12V). Check for any obstructions in front of the horn's opening.
Mounting bracket is loose
Tighten the nuts and bolts securing the mounting bracket to the motorcycle frame and the horn to the bracket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The Oxford OX780 is designed for all 12V motorcycle, scooter, and moped applications. Ensure your vehicle's electrical system is 12V before installation.
Setup:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Remove the old horn if applicable.
- Use the included universal mounting bracket to secure the new horn. Position it so the sound output is unobstructed.
- Connect the two wires from the horn to the corresponding terminals on your motorcycle's wiring harness. Typically, one wire connects to a power source activated by the horn button, and the other to a ground point.
- Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Test the horn by pressing the horn button.
Care: The chrome finish can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. Periodically check the mounting bracket and wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
