i just purchased mine today

i'll be installing it in the morning. pics will come, hopefully some video as well to demonstrate the difference between the stock horn and the new one for those who aren't familiar with it.

I'll enjoy seeing where you end up mounting it, drummer. Do you know how much amperage it draws when you fire it off?

Hope you don't mind drummer for butting in..... fitted mine at bottom of engine but got weathered and stopped working. So next step was to fit in a dry position on the bike, tight fit but has never let me down since. Just thought I would post a pic just in case someone else was thinking about fitting one. Got the idea off the forum a while back when I was struggling to find a place to fit it. Just fitted the horn behind the fairing and drilled a small hole on top then fitted the bolt which came supplied with the horn. Look forward to see your pics, when fitted Phil.

I added a Fiam Freeway Blaster and am less than impressed. I tried it on the highway and thought it was disconnected. I did not even hear it. I do wear custom earplugs and full face helmet but still...

A friend brought me a Stebel from the UK and I should be getting it today

I intend mounting it behind the fairing too, I had a look at Boneman's site and that looks like the spot. Can't wait to frighten my first dozy cager with it

I agree. I put one on my bike and I'm beginning to suspect it's quieter than the stock horn. Very disappointing.

When I get a chance I'm going to find my decibel meter and test each one. I'll post the results if this comes to pass. Maybe it's the low tone but I think it's quieter as well.

the package says that it should put out 139db
it may be a little while though before i do the install. i do not have quite enough skill to install it on my own, so a friend of mine is going to come over and help with the electrical part. i can't wait to hear it on the bike! i will definitely have pics of everything.
yammi, go ahead and give all of the input you'd like! that goes for anyone
