Wanting a new horn

[Gummie]

Have done some searching on here and i see that the horn of choice is a "stebal".
Yes its loud, but why could someone not use a car air horn or something simular.
Just a few thoughts of what people have got/tried.

Car air horn? It'd probably look the part on a Hyosung!

Never use my horn.

1 word - size.

The stebel is a nautilus shape (coiled up like) whereas a car horn is a 15cm funnel.

Result? Car horn noise that fits beneath your fairing.

... car air horn or something simular....

I used to use a car air horn on my old hyosung. the compressor fitted between the frame and plastic at the back, with the horns underneath on the screws that held the plastic on. they got very close to the wheels.

I have Stebel Nautilus horns. There is also a "compact" model that is only about the size of 2 packs of ciggies. Ebay is a good place to find em and $50.00 is about right. They come complete with mounting hardware and relay w wiring diagram. I put mine on a switch, to either isolate (Bike horn only) or parralel...both horns.

They certainly get ppls attention!

I had one on my old bike and it was some job at getting peoples attention.

+1,
is first modification to make on any bike! Got mine in a few days from e-bay Oz....saved my skin a couple of times.
One guy who didn't see my little bike coming stalled his cage after I honked my horn and he panick braked, looking around him in bewilderment trying to spot the oncoming "truck".....Priceless

Cool guys some more input,

A mate came over today (unexpectedly) with twin air horns so i tried them,
Money wise i think i will get some tomorrow as they are $30 from supercheap.

I may need ear plugs for myself though as twin horns right there say no more.

I liked the look of the chromed horns but alas i dont have a credit card so getting things like that prove to be difficult.

Thanks for the replies guys
P.S. my bike seems to be getting sluggish, oh thats right it will be the 50 sausages i have eaten this week

Where did you/will you mount them? under the fairings?

From my eyei should be able to mount the compressor where the other horn is and cradle the trumpets inside the farrings just need to figgure how to secure them.

Man that is going to be LOUD! let me know how it goes beacuse i'd be really keen to get a louder horn!

when do you reckon it will be done by?

[Gummie]

Hopefully tomorow. I have the day off so i will have something to do.

Would you like to see/hear the results?

If i finish with enough time i could be up for a ride.
