Its easy once you get the nack, I had doubted myself initially because nothing worked. Though that turned out to be the water damaged wiring, so watch out for that.

Courtesy of Baph's 'Basic Electrical Engineering for complete Dummies', here is a schema of how it should all fit together.....



Thanks again for your help!

Edit: That's if you want to keep the stock horn

Updated schema to show correct polarity for connecting the Stebel (in case your stupid enough to wire it the wrong way around...in which case it will sound like someone gently passing wind as opposed to a proper air horn.....now who could be SO stupid ? )

Fitted mine today, looks like this:



sounds...
But when I tried to connect it together with the old horn (with the schematics) I blew the fuse (15A). I've tried it a few times, looked ok but every time the fuse was gane as soon as I pressed the switch. Ran out of fuses so connected it on it's own.

that's the whole point of having a fuse, so that the current doesn't overpower the size of cable used and melt the rubber shielding

if you connect a component that draws a higher current than the stock wiring can take (which you know is the case because the fuse is blowing) you have to use a relay, if you've just bypassed the fuse and connected it directly you run the risk of burning out the wiring and setting the bike on fire, so probably not recommended
