I'm Horny....
 
Want to get rid of that scooter/taxi sound of a horn on the SV.

Been briefly browsing for the Stebel Magnum, i want something loud and "quality" sounding and most of all something easy to fit :p


What did you recommend changing it for?

Now then, horns eh?

The Stebel Magnum is the one I opted for. It you want to be cheeky, it's a direct replacement for the stock horn (just cut the stock connector in half).

I even helped fit one at AR07 (OK, I tell a lie, I drunk beer & he fitted it to his own bike...).

I decided that a single Stebel Magnum wasn't loud enough (135dbA IIRC). So I added another. This wasn't loud enough either, so I added some marine air horns. :D

It's starting to sound quiet again... or is that my hearing that's going? :lol:

?13.99 from Halfrauds. I used the two metal brackets that came in the pack and wedged them behind the radiator cover. It has a nice rounded 'parp' sound (model TM80/1) and works well on drivers and sheep :D

As mentioned I had to split the connector and some sheath with wire cutters, it's very short and limits the horn placement options. As an aside I found the horn will screw directly into the radiator hole if needed, but might help bend it if you drop the bike.

If you use 2 horns then you need a relay IMO

Stebel nautilus compact are good if a little large i bought one for my bike but it got fitted to my van sounds like a locomotive horn :-), a cheap easy fix and a big improvement is to fit a car horn most cars have decent horns nowadays ive got a spare alfa horn if you want it.
