pedro cerveza Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Jerry over at Pirates Lair is now selling one that could shatter glass. Which means you might be able to get the attention of a cager on a cell phone. Link to comment

yellojakit Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Thanks, guys...I've heard a lot about the Stebel Nautilus Compact Dual-Tone 12-Volt Air Horn, 139 dB - Black. They even have a live demonstration on "you tube" at the following link: The only issue with these horns is trying to fit them in that compact spacing between the forks... Link to comment
pbbeck Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I'm having a Stebel Nautilus installed next weekend. I bought it from CASportTouring.com for about $35. My brother had one installed on his K1200GT. it is earsplitting. Sounds like a freight train! I'll post an update once it's installed. Link to comment
moshe_levy Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 You guys considering Stebels might find my installation article useful. See http://www.mklsportster.com/r1150rthorn.htm A version of this was printed in Motorcycle Consumer News in May. You can hear the horns in the video clip online at the aforementioned link. Earsplitting! -MKL Link to comment
kcscout Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 +1 Stebel Nautilus The horn was the first thing I changed when I got my 1100RT. Bought mine through Amazon. Did the install myself. Pretty straight forward. About an hour job (most of which was me taking off tupperware for the first time). Link to comment

Not a problem for 20K miles. www.adventurersworkshop.com sells them and an installation kit. I made my own kit. Jim Link to comment
Ken H. Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 The only issue with these horns is trying to fit them in that compact spacing between the forks... It will fit. I did the exact same thing as Jim shows. Link to comment
yellojakit Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Thanks...I will order next week. vic Link to comment
USAF1 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 In case the fit IS too tight....you can seperate the horn piece from the motor aide......and just run a hose between the two pieces. You'll need an adaptor (check with your local hardware store) to hook the hose to on the horn end. Pat Link to comment
pbbeck Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Irv Seaver installed the Stebel Nautilus yesterday on my R1200GS. They charged me 1.5 hours in labor + $20 in miscellaneous wires, connectors, etc. If you are considering purchasing the Stebel, I'd recommend NOT buying the wiring kit they also sell, as it is cheaper to let the dealer wire it up (if a dealer is going to do the work, that is). The GS sounds like a freight train now. I have never relied on the horn much anyway, but I like knowing that if I need it, it'll be heard and heard good! Link to comment
