Nothing wrong with your two wheeler Michael! It's all Simplex!! Put up some pics if you have them. We'll try to compare to literature we have.

Michael having what y'all calling a Johnny Cash bike is ok. Heck that's how my bike came together but it cost more than a dime. But there were some great trips linked to my bike.

Mike you don't want to find a klaxon horn like that. I bought one about a year ago for $60.00. Now I have not see one under$180.00+. Good luck finding one.

Are the horns just miniature versions on the ones used by model T's & other horseless carriages?  The pictures I've seen look the same.

Yes they sound and function the same as the the larger ones. I ran a search for klaxon horn on ebay today and found several . Its all about how much you can afford.

The horn came mounted on Johnny. The only thing I have done to it is remove the tank and carb for cleaning. Total restoration will be started this summer.  Michael c
