Air Horn installation

soldierboy3502 · 03-31-2008, 07:36 PM

Thia topic may have been discussed before but I noticed on my bike that I have two stock horns. That being said, I was looking at getting a stebel nautilus air horn. Can I run two air horns since I have to stock horns? I can imagine it would definately be loud as hell!!!

You could, but use a relay. Those things draw too much juice for the stock switch & wiring.

From what Ive heard, is that one Stebel horn is plenty loud. With two you would sound like a freight train.

For about $35 I'd like to have a Stebel. They sound great and will wake up the sleepiest driver.

I haven't got mine on yet, but am liking the frieght train idea

They are loud horns, but not like a truck horn. I like mine very much. I can see that people in cars hear it because they turn and look. Never happened with my OEM horn. My son's 1500 Classic has two horns, so he replaced the left on with a Stebel and left the original on the right. The two together make a good tone. Double check how much current they draw if you add two. As I recall for two you would need separate fused lines for each horn, and well as the relay on the original horn circuit.

One would be enough Cabby. For $45 it's all you need and mine is LOOUUUDDD!

Have to agree here. One is definitely enough, two would put some old lady into fits!

Oh wait, that's not right.

Hahahaha...I know they are loud. I had one on my 800 classic before I sold it. I was looking at running two with each one having its own relay. Can it be done? I hope so....the louder the better!!!
