Default Drunken ebay purchase - oops

Ok so I was bored and a little bit drunk recently and for some reason I bid for and won a Stebel Nautilus Horn (the small version).

It has arrived but as it was previously on a bike there are no fitting instructions for it.

Can anyone please tell me how easy it will be to fit to my bike and how to do it?

Thanks

you could just connect it to the wires you already have from your horn,

but

some say you need to fit a relay, some say you dont

Thanks Hovis.


What would happen if I didn't fit a relay when it should possibly have one?

im not sure, i remember i was in the same boat, and could not be bothered with the relay. so did not fit it

i think it may melt the wires, and burn somthing out?

theres a thread on here all about it, but may take some searching?

I may have to seek the advice from a very well mechanically educated friend to see what he thinks.

Stebel Nautilus is an air horn and WILL overload your horn wiring without a relay. Fit a relay and save your wiring, it's really not hard at all.
