Two new questions
For you Voyager and Vaquero owners. Mine is a 2011 Voyager and inquiring minds want to know if (1) you have an issue opening your gas cap when the tank is getting low? Twice I have gotten to the low fuel light and stopped for gas. Put the key in and turned the lock and it was like the cap was jammed in place. After a GREAT deal of struggling with the cap it opened and the tank popped as air was forced into it. It is almost like as the gas is used up a vacumn forms and the tank does not breath. Anyone else have this problem? (2) Anyone purchase a Stebel compact air horn, if so where did you mount it?
Thanks for any help. dave.... Login or Register to Remove Ads |

It is possible that your gas tank vent line is trapped or kinked causing a vacuum in the tank ? A guy on another forum with a Voyager had has tank collapse because of a vent line being trapped. His tank was replaced under warranty. I had a Stebel on my 1600 Nomad. I mounted in the same place as the stock horn usung a 3/16th stainless steel bracket I made myself. I also mounted the relay to that bracket.

I have a 2010 voyager, have the steibel (woolo) horn mounted on the left side where the intake cover went, I put on a hypercharger and at the same time ordered the plate from thunder mfg to go on the left side, I drilled a hole in the plate and mounted the horn there, IMO a steibel will NOT mount in place of the original tinny sounding piece of crapola as I think it could impact the front fender if the forks compress enough. My guess is that the issue with your gas cap is as you described.

That is fine on the 1600 that he had it mounted on, but I would be leery about the voyager, I just have the feeling it would hit the front fender as the horn sticks out quite a bit more than the stock and it is a lot lower.

Mounted a Wolo in the orginal location with no problems. It's the same size as a Stebel.

For those that mounted the Stebel horn was it the compact model that you put in the original's place?

My vent hose was pinched under the tank on the right side by the seat mount. Got it moved and checked by the dealer and everything is working great. Still wondering about the Stebel Air Horn if the one used is the compact model.
