I just finished installing the Stebel Nautalus Compact Electropnumatic Air Horn in my FZ6. I removed the stock horn altogether.
Took me about 2 hours of fiddling to get it all done and neat. First time I have lifted up my tank too! Nice that the battery is right up front! Made connecting the fused hot wire to the + terminal easier.
I mounted it inside the left front faring. I like the "hidden" aspect better as well as with my 'chin faring' I can't mount it down low on the left side of the engine like others have. I also personally don't like the horn just sitting out there on the side of the bike like that.
Tons of realestate in those front farings to mount the horn, wires and relay, even with all my previous wiring and additional relays for my Watsen LED signals! I found the 'screw' that Snow was talking about using as an anchor point for the Stebel. You just unscrew it a bit untill you can slide/wedge the Stebel's mount over it. I also used some cable ties to secure the horn body to the faring. Safe to say that the left side front faring is now full up now!
OMG is this thing loud!! I didn't listen to previous advice about letting it off in your garage...ouch..... It's friggin LOUD!!!
I had a smirk on my face as I drove to work this morning. It's like having a 'secret weapon'! But with great power comes great responi....ahh screw it! Gave a blast to the morning bus patrons waiting for the bus as I went buy. Figured it was cheaper than them buying a cup of coffeee to wake them up! Look out Hornblasters.com...here come Victoria BC Blasters.com...lol.
I will be good, I promise.....after the novelty wears off! hee hee hee
