Get a 12v sonalert like the one I had on my Beemer 650 a few years ago to signal turns!! Woke most up!! With one of those, you could feed it reduced voltage and it would still wake them up. Probably about 6v would do the trick! It was heard for 3-4 blocks..friend knew when I was coming..could hear it inside from 3 blocks away!! --- trikes-request@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > Send trikes mailing list submissions to > trikes@xxxxxxxxx > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, > visit > http://www.ihpva.org/mailman/listinfo/trikes > or, via email, send a message with subject or body > 'help' to > trikes-request@xxxxxxxxx > > You can reach the person managing the list at > trikes-owner@xxxxxxxxx > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it > is more specific > than "Re: Contents of trikes digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
