    Did that work well? How did you get the bits apart without breaking it? What tube did you use, must be pretty strong tube to stand that compressed air? I need to do the same thing.

    Good, then there shouldn't be any worries. I'm sorry to hear you have to suffer this bloody hassle due to such incompetent arseholes!

    the airhorn bits are clamped around te compressor, and have a little o ring on that connection and a plastic locking tab.
    You can pry them apart easy with a flat screwdriver or so.

    Take the airhorn to your local plumbershop, and match it up with the right size clear tubing.(forgot how many mm it was)

    It fits into compessor wit o ring, and fits around male tube from horn.

    Now you have one round compressor to fit wherever you want...(I drilled small holes in fairing and cable tied it on...Hard to see)

    I took the hacksaw and took the clamp of the horns and installed them pointing forward ad downward under headlight with help of ......cableties indeed

    Now you run your clear plastic tube and connect both,secure tube around horn male end with small cable tie.

    Doesn't come undone, works great and easy enough to cut cable tie when you need to remove fairing.
    Cable ties don't rust, easy to tension up, can colour match......
    Good luck,
    Let me know if you need more help....
    Let me know how you go....
    May take pics of my setup if that is helpfull.....(find camera-charge it etc....)

    Right ..

    Seems the cock up was due to incorrect address details (no name and wrong post code), my supplier has told me he will send the packages again but via UPS this time.

    so .... we should have the little buggers in due course.

    I'll keep you all up to date and thanks again for your patience.

    I can sympathise. Same thing happened to me a few years back buying records from the UK. They addressed it with no street name (yes, they wrote '36 Street'). It was returned to sender the day before I finally got an answer as to where the package might be (languishing at the postal centre). Took months to sort the whole thing out.

    Yep ...

    The package was shipped via UPS and promptly returned to sender because the package "CONTAINS A UPS PROHIBITED ARTICLE FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS / RETURNED TO SHIPPER "

    This is turning into a farce of epic proportions!!

    Im just waiting to hear back from my supplier.

    Message from my supplier.

    "Murray
    This is all going wrong!
    The box used just happened to have a code printed on it that indicated that the box contained oil (which obviously it does not!) Have sent again.
    Regards"

    You have to laugh, you really do .. LOL
