I agree with your comments, I feel there is some gradification in doing your own thing your own way. Horns or whatever. and I understood completely how to make that bracket. my 2 cents worth.

 

Heres a link to the CVO site that has pretty good info on how to do this. Pictures and everything!

Hey, thanks for the added info which clears up several questions. Now, I'll be interested to see if the cowbell fits over the Stebel. After looking at the dimensions of the horn (approx. 4.5 x 4.5 x 3.5 in.), I can't see how it would fit. If it does, that'll be the answer. I did read the other thread about problems with these horns, and that worries me, but at $35 each you can afford to replace it every year or two.

 

Have any of you guys seen or heard the horn made by Cyclesmiths? They claim 100 db...what are HD stock horns rated at? Cyclesmiths produces an air cleaner that has the same billet fins and I'm thinking of getting both. Any comments on these horns would be appreciated.

Regards.

I have done the Stebel mod on my SG since I bought it in May. This is a nice CLEAN install. And that sucker is LOUD!! I put the horn portion under the cowbell. It's been working fine ever since. First let me clarify: You need to purchase the Stebel Nautilus "COMPACT" Airhorn, not the "dual tone" one. They both have tthe same tone and loudness, but the compact one is smallerand will fit under the cowbell when separated from the compressor. . You can get it here:

The part number is 8007850002033
The installation consists of separating the compressor from the horn. ( You can either dremel it off or just break the tabs that hold it, like I did.) I mounted the compressor in the cavity under the seat and ran some fuel line hose to the horn under the cowbell. I used a plastic fitting for the hose to mount to the compressor. I just zip tied the plastic horn part inside from the back of the cowbell where it can't be seen. I also ground just a little of the bottom of the horn so it doesn't "peek out" from the bottom of the cowbell. Wired up the relay to the battery and used the stock horn wires to fire the relay. If you are a premium Delphi member do a search on the Electra Glide Garage forum and you should be able to find a thread with pics and links to diagrams on how to do this. I tried to find it for you guys, but I'm not a premium member so I can only search back 3 months. Once you get the pics and diagram of how it's done, it's really pretty easy. Took me all of 45 minutes. Believe me, the HD horn and the Mini-beast have Stebel's under their covers!

From what I've read the Mini-Beast is the same as the Stebel Mini Air Horn, but just adapted to fit in where the stock HD horn is......why is it three times as much $$

I'm thinking of buying the Stebel horn for my 2005 Police Road King...anybody ever install one using the existing siren wiring so that you can take advantage of the siren switch on the handlebars??

 

Before you run out and get a Mini Beast, check some of the recent threads. There was one about the Mini Beast changing parts from metal to plastic and the thing just falling off the bike! Ouch!

 

I like Howards Hog horns on the bagger...130db...
