Wot's louder?

[Dodgy1]

Ok...so I need a new horn for the bandit cos quite frankly listening to the pathetic Japanese whimper that she emits when fuckwits in cages pull U turns in front of me like wot happened today is nothing more than embarrassing :mad: Now I have searched the forum and see that one of our guys has been selling Stebel horns on here. My question is this which is the loudest of the compact horns? and where can I get one??

I put a Stebel Magnum (137db) on my bike to good effect. Bought it offn KB actually.

I also put a Stebel Nautilus (140 db) in the cage - to even better effect! Got that online from Oz, via E-Bay. (I think it was from "onlineautopart")

Although the Nautilus is louder, it is bigger. The Magnum was easier to fit on the bike.

So would a brand new magnum for nz$39 inc shipping from ebay be a good deal?

[breakaway]

Are there any other options to using Stebels? Couple years back I bought a SV650S with aftermarket horns - there was one compressor, and it had one air line coming out of it with a "T" joint that went to two trumpets which were mounted on either fairing, on either sides of the bike.

Fuck me it was loud. How much would such a setup cost? Wouldn't it be louder than a Stebel too?

There aren't many that are louder than 140db...as far as I know anyway...I have given the odd cyclist a heart attack with the Nautilus...(only time i ever saw a treadly do a wheelie and smoke rubber...)

Hehe....your evil you know...:devil2:...I'm just waitin for a reply from the seller in oz mate and I'll be hittin the buy now button :Punk:

[Dodgy1]

Now I can be evil too..:devil2:...$48nz from ebay oz icl shipping....what a deal...

[turtleman]

Good deal !
I have a Nautilus and it's great - slighlty louder and different tone to my mates Magnum. The Magnum is still a great horn, and probably more suitable for your bike - easier and tidier to mount etc.

I doubt you'll be disappointed !

Excellent deal!

At one stage someone was offering a pair of magnums - one high tone and one low tone for a good price. Haven't seen that offer for a bit...

Yep - dat's dem...cheap price too! If you mount the pair in parallel you get 140db plus some degree of beat in the tone (IIRC)

If clear message is what you are trying to deliver, then you are searching for a wrong tool.
Try this for a size...

Mate for that price I could get both sets !! :gob:

The horn on my '12 sounds like a truck!

[Duc]

If you need a LOUD HORN to ride your bike... you are riding all wrong! "deadman riding"

What good is a loud (any) horn going to do as you head towards being munted upside the radiator of a truck no matter who is in the right.

Ride as if your life depends on it.

I cant even remember the last time I used mine because I just havent had the need to. Wonder if it still works?

You got a current WOF on your bike? :blink:

I have a Nautilus and previously had a pair of Fiamm horns. In emergencies, it's true you should be doing something other than using the horn, but the Nautilus comes in handy for waking dozy bastards up. I used it just twice on a recent trip across the Island, both times when following a driver who was going to use the whole passing lane to overtake one other car.

When they hear even a short "WAKE THE FUCK UP!" they get out of the way. Previous experience suggests that if you gave them a blast on an OE horn you'd just get the finger.

Make sure you put the Nautilus through a relay on your Bandit. It takes enough current to fry your horn switch over time and a relay is the way to go. I have one on my 1250 bandit (good fit under left fairing) and it's LOUD
