Stebel Nautilus compact horn anyone?

I got the horn fitted lastnight. Same way as Maviczap. Only thing I have a question about is, what type of tubing should I use to connect the compressor to the horn,

Cbay suggests "Fuel Pipe".

Ended up with a really neat and tidy job.

Windscreen washer tube will be fine.

I used medical quality nebuliser tubing I just happened to have lying around

I see little point in the switching... Both horns on mine are always on with a circuit to delay the Stebel by ~500ms so that I can give it a short double tap on the electro-magnetic or hold it for loud and obnoxious. The only time that I would disconnect the stebel by pulling the earth is for roadworthy inspections (air horns are not allowed here).

Fine here though.

Just put relay coil in parallel with or instead of the stock horn, be sure to use a fuse on the hot from the battery.

Maviczap,

How did you fit the plastic horn piece to the fairing??

I know I used part of the indicator mount mounting screw for one part

But I can't remember how I attached it to the horn.

I'll have a look to remind me how I did it

Ive everything connected on the bike, wiring done, compressor fitted under pillion seat, windscreen washer tubing attached to the compressor threaded along the bike to the front and attached to the horn using a valve extender super glued to the horn. The only thing left to do is to secure the plastic horn part in position.

Thanks All for the advice this far.

Is there much of a delay using a length of tube?

[yorkie_chris]

none I noticed

No delay in the air reaching the horn, I thought there might be a delay also, so for a quick test I blew in the end of the washer pipe I was going to use and pointed it at my eye, and you can feel the air right away,
The hose was 2.4metres and I cut approx 700mm of it.

Hope this helps

3ft? Seriously?

I'm not sure I would have used my eye as the test target.
