So my horn decided to take a dump, the OEM one that is and even though it was still under warranty I decided that since I'm a daily commuter I needed something louder. After doing my research I bought the Stebel Nautalis Chrome air horn from ridesafer dot com. It was a decent deal. Here are some videos from the install and hope they help someone. This is not a full how to just a sharing of the bike apart in stages. Enjoy.

P.S. The horn is loud as sxit and I'm grinning ear to ear
Since it was 10:30 I took it out for a ride on the highway outside of town to really test it and sounds great. Also does not shake much when at idle which is good.

Dang, I thought these things were pretty much plug and play....

 

I'm not very mechanically inclined and I was able to install one on my Ultra. I bought one of the wiring kits they sell for the Stebel, not the expensive one but the middle of the road one.

 

If you have some mechanical and electrical ability it's not that difficult. A service manual is a must unless you're very experienced taking bikes apart. I could hav done it with the fuel tank on buy wanted the experience of taking it off and also to route the wires properly.

The horn uses about 8 amps which is why it needs a relay and separate power wiring. If you want plug and play then you may want to look at some of the louder electrical horn options. They may not be as loud but still better than stock.

 

I also wanted an Air Horn, but didn't want those trumpets that stick out. I looked around and I bought the Chrome "Bad Boy" Air Horn from J&P. It is a dual tone self contained air horn.

It is almost a "Plug & Play" setup. The only extra thing I did was run a fused wire from the battery to the horn area. I took the stock horn off. Bolted the relay up to the back of the stock Horn mount and the Bad Boy to the front. Plugged in the stock wires and applied the fused wire to the relay. It doesn't take any more room than the stock and the sound out put is twice as loud as the stock horn and is totally chrome so it looks good.

 

the Stebel is not that hard to install. I did mine with the removal of my seat, old horn and one upper motor mount bolt (new ground). Drilling the old horn bracket to 5/16 and mounted the new horn to it. The old horn wires reach under the seat where I attached them to the relay and pulled the new horn wire back to the new horn. The stebel draws in the area of 20 amps I am pretty sure the switch and old wires are not going to handle that load.
