Stebel Horn

Just fitted a Stebel nautilus to my GTR to replace the standard thing.
Is it just me or is the standard horn decidedly limp wristed?
It all came to a head when I pulled up next to a chap in his repmobile at some traffic lights I couldn't get his attention by blowing my horn; I had to knock on his window to get his attention.

Now I have a 135dBA horn. Sweet.

Fits in very nicely in the simply huge space behind the radiator.

Installation pics

I'm with you! Can't stand the horn. I just had the ol' left-hand turn across my lane, cell-phone talking SUV. With the windows up and AC on, I doubt she even heard my horn.

Do you happen to have any pics of the installation? How hard was the install, how much time did it take?

Rainy Independence Day weekend in Cincinnati.......

Hitman,

Well, I'm looking down the barrel of a long holiday with less than ideal riding conditions. Sounds like a great time for a horn install. You wouldn't happen to have dimensions for the "L" bracket you fabricated for the horn mount would you?

Thank you in advance.
