Airzound horn

[Gerry Attrick]

Has anyone found a suitable place to fit an Airzound to an ICE T trike? I don't really want to add another special bracket, but rather fit one to an existing spot. The handlebars seem to be out as it would restrict lock, and anywhere else seems to be unsuitable due to the larger tube diameter. (One of the reviews crticises the mount as it will fit only standard 7/8 inch bars).

All suggestions will be rewarded with a virtual sticky bun.

Hi Gerry,

Mount the bottle under the seat tie wrapping the Velcro strap to the main cruciform, fit bottle to that, loosely run pipe/tubing along main frame and onto the left or right handlebar, lower the relevant brake lever and gripshift about 20mm and mount the horn on the end of the handlebar using the rubber shim that's supplied to take up any slack, leave enough pipe/tubing sticking out clear of the gripshift/brake lever so as not to foul up with the controls or your hand, I've had no problem with mine on my Ice Q 26, it's also easy to get to the valve when you need to refill

If you need any photo's of my setup send me a pm and I'll sort some out

Hi Roger,

Many thanks for your reply.

I think Ihave the general idea, but does that mean the horn unit is mounted horizontally, or does the mounting bracket pivot to allow vertical mounting, i.e. parallel to the upright handlebar?

On my Kettwiesel it mounts on the vertical part of the bar. On my QNT it mounts on the mirror arm which is horizontal.

Thanks for your reply. When it is mounted on the vertical bar, does the horn hang vertical, or can it only be mounted horizontally?

It doesn't pivot so is at right angles to the tube it's mounted on. Not an issue as it can be positioned to sit under your thumb in either case.

OK, many thanks to all.

I have attached the trigger on the top of the right handle grip, with the bottle in the rack on the bottle bosses.

The button is easily pressed with my thumb.
