The 3CL I'm cleaning up at the moment was fitted with a mini compressor and air horn. Thought I might refit it so I can beep at some of those Harley riders, but I don't know if air horns on motorcycles are legal on motorcycles in Queensland.
Does anybody know?

I think if its a single note unit and doesn't change tone then you would be OK as per ADR 20. However if its one of those musical set ups then you could be snookered. ( like the Dukes of Hazaard used to play )
