Default Stebel Air Horn

hi guys,
do you know of any website or forum post that offers visual reference on how to install Stebel compact air horn on a Sporster? I'm looking for directions on how to do proper wiring.
Thanks

after hearing the stock horn the Stebel will be one of the first mods I do (maybe get the chrome one). here's what I came across:

plug n play type:


deluxe wiring kit:


not sure of the exacting way to mount it though

I know you asked about wiring, but here's another tip: don't mount it on the motor where the stock horn is. The Stebel can't take the shaking of a Sportster engine and the horn will come apart. Happened me to me.

You might need more then one since its a directional horn. Mine was super loud to the left but faint on the right side of the bike so if I wanted to scare someone I to be directly to the right of them. Another thing is that Nautilus horns dont like to get wet or dirty as it will start drying out the valves or dirt will tear them which is what happened to mine. I would personally get an SUV horn like Honda Pilot that are small but really loud.
so as far as wiring goes, do you have instructions? All it is is a relay and wires and horn. Its very simple and the only place I could think about mounting it is somewhere underneath the headlight.

Pretty much anywhere but on the engine. After mine came apart I put the stock horn back on and eventually sold the bike before I replaced the Stebel. I'd suggest keeping it more toward the top of the bike and facing the side to avoid rain and road grime getting into it as much as possible. Definitely don't face the horn opening toward the front, it'll collect all sorts of nasty stuff while riding.
