can "bad Boy"/"stebel" air horn in fairing?

[dharnie]

I have a "bad Boy"/"stebel" air horn in the front upper fairing on my Yamaha Venture.

 

Can this fit somewhere hidden on the 2004 1150RT?

 

Anyone know?

I mounted one on my R1100RT with a homemade "L" bracket to mount on the same stud as the stock horn,it clears each tube by about 10mm.

TWO can fit. See my installation here http://www.mklsportster.com/r1150rthorn.htm Just cover your ears before testing them!

Hi Moshe - looking at your installation at the link you provided- i liked this " You will jump out of your skin at the shear volume of two air horns screaming in parallel, which sounds very much like a semi-truck’s horn on steroids!"

 

and this " At 50 feet, the RT's horn performance went from roughly the volume of a canister vacuum cleaner (~80 dB) in stock form to roughly the volume of front row at a rock concert (~110 dB) "

Awesome!

 

looking at your photo titled "The left and right side Stebels mounted in the stock Bosch horn locations, directly behind the oil cooler. (1/07)"

QUESTION PLEASE:

did you pull apart the airhorn and connect 2 halves with a hose or is that how the unit comes from the factory?

 

thx.

That's how they come from the factory. Nothing whatsoever was modified, except for adding the diodes to the relays.

I have the AeroStitch Ear Cannon mounted between the forks of my 97 RT. I just used a flat piece of aluminum strap to mount it to the stock mounting bolt. Sits in between the forks, with about an inch clearance on each side. I tried running it from the stock relay and wires, but the compressor just didn't have enough umph to get the low tone going full song. I used the relay that AeroStitch included with the horn and ran a wire to the battery. Works great.
