The cheapest price I could find for a Stebel Chrome Horn was $54.94 including shipping. I do not feel that the chrome is worth the extra money over the black horn. I found that the chrome on the plastic parts is soft, very thin, and scratches easily.
The horn from Bikerhiway.com comes with a wiring kit included.
1. Connect the fuse to the positive post of the battery, output of the fuse to the input of the relay, output of the relay to the + (positive) connection on the horn.
2. Connect the - (negative) connection on the horn to the bike frame bolt hole below the Bracket Mounting bolt.
3. Extend the OEM horn wires and connect to the coil on the relay.
The horn will just barley fit in the area behind the Left Lower Fairing.
Mounting bracket: A flat piece of metal that I had laying around. The holes are about five inches apart. I elongated the bike frame mount hole with a round file (see note below). I notched the bracket so the lower bolt hole could be used as a ground connection for the - (negative) connection to the horn. If a narrower piece of metal is used the notch won't be needed. I had to bend the bracket slightly about one inch from each end (opposite directions) and a slight curve bend about the center around the back of the horn. With the bracket mounted on the horn, the unit will have to be slipped in at an angle to clear the bike frame. It will fit without force.
Note: When tightening the mounting bolt, watch the panel in front of the driver left knee and make sure that the horn doesn't push the panel out. The Lower Fairing Panel won't fit without pressure if the horn is holding the panel toward the driver left knee area. (Don't ask How I know)
Notice the yellow color on the lip around where the sound comes out of the horn. Comments are not required, yellow trim cement is just all I had to use. A clear cement will look better. We have dirt daubers out here around the lake. In the summer they build mud nest under the deck, under the hood of the cars and just inside openings like on the horn. We also have an extra small bee that will build inside the ground plug on electrical outlets on the deck and in tube type wind chimes. I used a nylon window screen material to cover the air intake and sound output openings.
Before you honk this horn, be sure that you WARN YOUR WIFE, tie the dog, send the cats to the back bedroom, and stand on the opposite side of the bike.
Feel free to contact me with questions or comments.
