Who wants a Stebel?

[Morcs]

A few questions, this is after all a fairly typical airhorn experience.
Did you run the supplied relay or are you running it hot?
Are you sure your battery is not knackered?
Is there a voltage change when you accelerate?

Definitely much louder with the engine under load.

No Relay fitted, running hot.
Battery throws a tanty and drains every few months, but its fully charged.
No voltage change.

The stebel doesnt even work properly now, it kinda squeals, it may have water in it, ive re-done my diy connections and they are sweet, tried drying the stebel to get rid of water but it still sounds like shit...

Yep - keen to go if you are placing another order - what are the chances of having something in-country prior to Feb 16th?

[heyjoe]

Just for the record. I'm still keen WarlockNZ but you already know that. I look forward to it. Thanks.

No Relay fitted, running hot.

Sounds like your problem.
I tried that in my old Camira a few years back. Pretty soon the battery was in dire need of replacement and the horn sounded like fighting cats instead of charging freight train.
$80 for the replacement battery and insertion of the requisite relay and the horns still sounded crook but the battery was not flattened immediately.
On the advice of a mechanic the horns got a liberal dose of CRC, operated and then a sparing dose of rubbing alcohol followed by a night in the hot water cupboard to dry out the "reed" (the brass bits that make the noise) as being copper they can attract a bit of moisture when cooling.
Someone of more competency electrically can feel free to correct me here but the job of the relay is to restrict current to the desired amperage to avoid damage to your battery (which is now not protected by a fuse) and the horn.
Hot they can draw the full crank amps of your battery but will not operate any louder (we're talking torque in the compressor motor, not speed). Not sure on your bike or the battery but this could be as much as 200 crank amps as opposed to 10amps.

Cheers for that BD.

Fitting the relay is on my long list of things to do, will hopefully get round to it tonight.

These bloody Stebels really work. Just the threat of it has meant that no cager has done something stupid since I fitted it.
I'm really with George Dubya on this one. What's the point of deterrance if you can't use it?

Used Mr Stebel in anger tonight.
Riding up my road and about 200 metres ahead an Audi pops a U turn, but does it really slowly. She's still across the road when I see it's a middle-aged woman driving and the reason she's so slow is that she's yakking on her cell phone.
So I delay braking till I'm quite close and hit the horn.Well, her head spins around, her eyes are about to self eject and her mouth opens in a scream.
Of course, I know I can stop easily. She thought her time had come.
She didn't drop the fuckin' phone though. If it had been for real, they could have buried her with the cursed thing.

Makes a pleasant change from them just waving back eh?

[Morcs]

Well i couldnt be arsed fitting the relay to the circuit, and it was impossible to mount the stebel the correct way up on my bike, so... took it off and got the old horn back on.

SO MY STEBEL IS FOR SALE! $30? in packaging with all the bits.

Anyone want it hit me up at the ATNR.

[Swoop]

All the horns are prepaid, sorry about that ... if there is enough interest, I'll place another order.

I think if you do a count back on this thread, there will be enough interest for at least half a full shipment.
Send some PMs around!

[Swoop]

Righto.
Having bought Morcs' Stebel - the bloody thing is loud and definately works fine!!!!!
A small problem is that it takes up far too much room in the front of the VFR, since there is a secondary radiator in the location

So, once again, this Stebel is for sale. Exactly the same details as the post above by Morcs. $30-

PM me if interested.

EDIT: SOLD!!!

[Morcs]

Damn these sebels dont half sell quick... From the time I posted mine was for sale, and Swoop PM'd me was about 4 minutes... looks like its sold again just as quick...

*fumbles with the idea of a business opportunity*
