    Angry Wot's louder?

    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 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.

    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...)

    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...

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

    I've never been disappointed whenever I've had a horn.
