Just installed a Steubel air horn. 139 dB, dual tone. LOUD! Managed to just fit it in where OEM was using a 2" x 2" L bracket and no mods.
Steubel Nautilus. Got it at Canadian Tire. Box was generic, but contained a Steubel!

Photos?
You should consolidate all of your posts into one build thread haha. May I suggest, Coseverde's Build Thread? :thumb:
Ha ha! LED lights in the instrument panel are next. Photos are a good idea...

Okay, let's try some pics...
Here is the airhorn installed:

I used a 2.5" x 2.5" L bracket off the OEM horn mount.
From back looking forward:

Relay (does anyone see a problem with relay placement, or have concerns over potential for exposure to the elements?):

From below (note arrows indicate where airhorn will touch fairing, making the fairing a tight fit to get back on):

Wiring under seat (out of focus):

Used a Dremel to wear down the edges that would touch the fairing:

A little electrical tape on the edge:

After fairing back on (note it still just touches - will keep the vibration down?):

Very nice install, looks clean. Good job :thumb:
I would love to hear it, mainly in person though! Haha
Open your window, I'll go and sound it now. Nevermind, you don't need to open the window...

lol indeed. I salaved a police siren, for my next gs project. in addys honour. this will be a while off. anyhoo that IS a clean install. was wondering about the clearance at lock. guess that isn't an issue :). but yeah fire up the youtubes :)
Nice work - bet that is nice and loud..
Just one comment - I would normally wrap the wires with a bit of kitchen sponge or self amalgamating tape before zip tying to anything metal - even small vibrations will wear through the insulation and before you know it you will go for the horn and your bike will probably suffer.. another trick that works is using two zip ties back to back so the zip tie takes the wear and if it fails falls away from the metal.
Great idea, thanks!
