Stan I was told by Taff the horns that Desmo bought up excess stocks of horns so the body could be say Clearhoots with different bezels.

Stan, if you look on You Tube for 1937 Vincent HRD Series A Meteor [by Glenn Bator] you'll see EGY 988. This has a Desmo horn supplied by "Taff the Horns". [He who knows everything horny!]

Stan - have a look again at the text in "Back to A" - here are some pictures from Taff the horn that relate to that paragraph

To be practical for a moment, the real issue is that these horns against a modern insulated cars and pushbike twits with ear muzac are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Back in the day a little toot on a wayward looking overtake was heard but not now. What we need is a powerful air horn but without the bulk and weight of the sixties red plastic car efforts, I dont think that actually exists ... does it?

Been using these on my 'modern commuter' bikes for years - sure wakes up dimwit drivers on their phones when they are NOT concentrating on staying in their lane. They think it is a massive truck/pantechnicon or such like, reaction is super swift
