Stebel horns rule!

**Rogue Rider** · 21st August 2010, 21:13

Well, recieved my new Stebel Magnum horn in the post today from Warlock. Managed to fit it in just over 15 minutes.
No replacement parts or brackets needed, just affixed it straight onto an existing bracket on my 07 Speed Triple by the water pump feed.
I started up the bike, and tested the horn............ music to my sweet, now deaf little ears lol.......

WARNING, open the garage door first lol.

1000 times better than my existing stock bleeper, no turning back... I do query though how much louder the nautilus is as it's supposed to be even louder still...

Highly recommend getting one of these, the sound is awesome and loud.

The magnum (one you bought) sounds better (lower pitched and more like a train) to me than the nautilus. good price too from fastbikegear.co.nz

They are effective on older car drivers and young boy racer types, they dont know where the fuck the noise has come from and hit the picks, leaving you enough room to safely ride by.

I put a pair of FIAMM horns on the Hornet. Very loud but still sounded like a bike.

There wasn't enough room on the VFR for a Nautilus, but there is on the Duc

The Nautilus is loud but not specifically bike sounding. When Nadroj gets around to fitting his Magnum I must get him to give a demo...

They ARE good eh?

The matched pair of Magnums is even more betterer! Tones are different so ya get beats as well...hurhurhur

I had the stock bleeper, it's noise was like saying "um, excuse me".
I have had someone changing lanes when I was beside them, they ignored my horn and I had to brake and fall in behind them.

Then I got the Stebel Nautilus, its noise is like saying "OI, WATCH THE FUCK OUT!"
I've yet to have another motorist ignore my horn since I changed it.

The only thing I have lost is the ability to give a polite beep, but the sacrifice is totally worth it!

It's fun watching them test the horn when doing a warrant check too

**Rogue Rider** · 22nd August 2010, 18:38

I hear you all, the horn is flamin awesome....

I had to use it on the way to work this morning too, coming through Warworth, on that bloody treacherous insane piece of roadworks..... The lanes aren't especially clear and just south of the first phase of lights, a little old lady in her cage was coming straight towards me in my lane. She was driving next to another car, she obviously thought it was flippin 2 lanes..... So I barrelled my BLAZER BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH HHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! and by F%$# she moved like "Moses parting the red sea"!
The driver next to her was just as shocked and just about hit the kerb letteing her in.

Of coarse it was all my fault...... got shaking fist and a pair of fingers from the old bitch!!!!!!!! she probably keeled over in a heart attack after that, and good job!

(Yes, no grace from this God Botherer today, just thankful heart I got my STEBEL MAGNUM, God Bless Stebel, maker of f$#@ing loud horns that keep bikers alive!)
.
IF YOU DON"T HAVE ONE, GET ONE, IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE! I will load a pic tomorrow. Easy as to fit.

STEBEL HORNS, Clearing Roads and Causing Heart Attacks since 1955.

Don't need a STEBEL, Yeah Right!

My Horn is big enough already! YEAH RIGHT!

I don't need a horn! YEAH RIGHT!

Horny but Happy! Yeah RIGHT...... RIGHT ON!

**AllanB** · 22nd August 2010, 19:00

Excellent - I've one sitting on the bench waiting for me to entend the horn wires as I'm relocating it from the stock position.

'Sounds' like I should 'push the button' and get on with it.

That's the enigma of horns on motorcycles these days.

They're not used as a safety device - they're just a 'fuck you' device.

And what a "F$#@ YOU" device it is too.... I do concede that today I was looking for any opportunity to give her a BLAST!!!!!! however I am sure the novelty will wear off and it will be a practical tool that will cause cagers, (and those ignorant cyclists schmoozing dairy flat roads in early ours of the am on weekends) to think twice about pulling out and writing me and my bike off.....

**St_Gabriel** · 22nd August 2010, 20:09

Dont really notice a huge difference in the magnum to the factory (i assume) horn on the VL250. So little I couldnt be bothered mounting it.

**davebullet** · 22nd August 2010, 21:37

I can't remember the last time I used my horn. Probably because I know how ineffective it is there isn't any point using it (or I just move out of the way of the cage lumbering into my space).

I might get me one. Would be good if they had two modes (eg. half horn button in = warning. full horn button pushed in = Krakatoa)
