I’ve always been a huge fan of the way the recent K1600 horns sound. In my opinion, they sound very similar to a mid-size car and I like that.
This is due to the K1600s using two horns. One 420hz and one 510hz.
The R18 comes with a single horn, and it’s the same 420hz as one of the K1600 horns.
I decided to grab a used 510hz horn that came off a K1600, some BMW connectors, and install it along side the 420hz horn.
Here’s the sound comparison:

Inexpensive
OEM parts
Still sounds like a BMW
Super happy with how this turned out.
