Ya, that's right, I found a horn that I like better than the Stebel Nautilus horn. I purchased it at Advance Auto Parts for $20, the FIAMM Highway Blaster. 132 decibels (Stebel is 139, not much difference there), draws 10 amps as opposed to 18 amps, and is much simpler!
I installed the horn last night underneath the left-side inner fairing with the open part of the horn facing out. Horn is almost completely covered by the inner fairing and works much better! I never really trusted the Stebel horn and after it died on me a few days ago, I knew I had to find something more reliable. I used the included mounting bracket and slipped it under a screw on the left fairing that was securing a cable clamp. Keep in mind that you MUST use the mounting bracket otherwise the horn won't function properly when securing the mounting nut.
The horn portion of my Stebel died, the compressor still works though. Kinda scary to not know your horn isn't working until you need it.

Thought I would pass this information on to other Fizzer riders. I can post pictures if needed. Happy riding!
