No Man is an Ireland.
Alright, I took the plunge today and spent my final bit of money for the month on a new horn! In true Irish fashion it cost a hell of alot of money for the stebel nautilus compact but thats ok (used to it!!)...but i'm excited since on top of getting the horn I have decided to make the wiring harness myself...and i'm not great with electronics (but good at putting them all together) so its a nice mini project for me!
I was so unsure about the type of wire to buy taking into account the thickness and length and colour!!...people have used 18 Gauge wire while the instructions that come with the horn suggest a 2.5 mm2 wire which equates to a 13 gauge wire...massive difference.
I'm going to use a 14 gauge wire for everything on the mod. I'll be using the plan below to base my harness on. I will be installing a 20A fuse between the + on battery and the relay. The fuse holder which i bought today came with 12 Gauge wires leading out of it and I hope that it will be ok to have a 14 gauge wire leading from + on battery to this 12G fuse unit to another 14 gauge wire which connects directly to the relay...if not...please advise!
I've got shrink tubing to cover up all connections and tomorrow i'll get a wide bore shrink tube to cover up everything!
I'll update this with install photos. The closest I've found to this type of install on a bike similar to ours is on a FZ1.
