Horny bikes

[SpankMe]

Got a braket made for the gixxer a few weeks back to fit my Stebel Nautilus Compact. It sticks out a bit, but worth it. Fuck all room on a gixeer to mount stuff.



The GB500 was easier to mount my Stebel Magnum horn. The old horn was starting to sound a bit weak after getting the Nautilus so ordered the Magnum and it arrived today.



The dejected.

Muahaha, I want one

[SlashWylde]

Wicked! Can these be bought locally? If so where?

Been wanting to put something like this on my bike since I bought it.

[SpankMe]

Don't know, but it only took a week to arrive from the UK. $100 for the Nautilus and $88 for the Magnum with delivery.

[SlashWylde]

Hmmm, not bad...wouldn't mind having a listen to yours some time, to decide whether or not it's for me.

Go here to hear sound samples (under Products > Motorcycle > Nautilus Compact Series).

Sounds pretty piercing through my stereo.

The Nautilus (sp?) - awesome. I had one fitted to the RF a few months ago... Worth every last cent. DAMN they're loud (what is it Spank 130dB?)

A taxi offered to be a victim for it a while back when cut me off... from the look on his face the poor bastard must've thought a train was coming. And it begs the question - if a driver soils his own cab, does he have to pay the fine?

Quite like the Magnum because it appears to be a straight plug and play of the OEM horn but the Nautilus sounds better being a twin tone air horn.

Can the Nautilus Compact be mounted on the stock horn mount, or must it have it's own custom mounting bracket?

Listened to the sound demo's on the web - awesome.

SpankMe: Of the two horns, which you like the best and why?
Thanks.

Drill a hole (about 5mm?) and bolt the bastard on... likewise the relay. Problem is finding a space big enough to put it (the story of my life...)

The Nautilus has a higher tone and is louder and heaviver, while the magnum sounds more like a car horn with a lower tone and is very light. I think they suite the bikes they are on.

So what's the relay for. I never used it, both horns just used the existing horn connectors.

Mine came with a relay to ease the amount of power/current being passed through the horn switch. Hit the horn/switch with your thumb - it turns on the relay, which feeds bulk power direct from the battery to it via heavy duty contacts... not the pissy little contacts in the switch under your thumb.

Dunno how serious it is to do it one way or other, Sparky at Colemans fitted mine for me and wired in the relay as part of it (relay was shipped with the horn)
