Horn not horny? (working?)

Any of you guys ever have a horn failure? Cross check the horn wire to another bike's horn and it works. I gave the horn a thump or two but still no go. Maybe time for a $15 replacement from the Boneyard?

the stock horn sounds like a sheep being raped in the far, foggy distance.

some of these guys have some serious blasters.

gentlemen, who's got the biggest horn?

I knew someone would be good for the raped sheep analogy! I think it's like a wounded rabbit. Sad and sickly sounding. I'm temped to go with the Aerostich Road Blaster as it's 2 clams more than a used replacement horn from the Boneyard.
Does anyone have any experience wiring in the 12v/40A Sealed Relay? Is it needed?

I have the Nautilus and Ohlins, but no "what's that called"? The vacuum canister?

It works great!
