• Can be Wired with any Motorcycle Make or Model
• 139 dB Sound: World's Loudest Motorcycle Horn
• Simultaneous High and Low Tones
• Compact Size

Want distracted drivers to pay attention? They will with this ear-splitting, 139 dB motorcycle air horn. Useful for getting that preoccupied driver to drop their cell phone, the piercing sound of this Stebel Air Horn can be heard three city blocks away! This motorcycle air horn produces a sound that is as much as 20 times louder than a stock motorcycle horn, so the Stebel Nautilus will help keep you safe. With a Big Truck high and low tone at the same time, the Stebel Nautilus eliminates the need for two horns. And, this loud air horn will last, as the horn can withstand more than 100,000 continuous action cycles. You'll be letting drivers know you're there for years to come. Not only can this horn help save your life, it's also compact and won't cramp your style. The patented Black Stebel Nautilus Compact air horn features space-saving engineering that no other Air Horn offers. The compressor and trumpets are integrated into a completely self-contained, well-styled black and silver (zinc plated) unit, measuring only 4.5" x 4.5" x 3", that fits many motorcycle makes and models. How will this Air Horn fit my Motorcycle? Two easy steps: 1) Find room. Find a space on your motorcycle where there is room for the 4.5" x 4.5" x 3" horn. 2) Hook it up. The air cylinder of the horn must be mounted vertically, with no more than a 15 degree variance from vertical and the air intake tube facing toward the back of the motorcycle. *Mounting the horn may require additional fasteners or brackets.

Summary: It's loud, but apparently not loud enough
Comment: This horn is LOUD! loud enough that I don't like blowing it unless I have to. Unfortunately for us motorcyclists I don't think there is any horn loud enough on the market to get the attention of some of the distracted drivers out there. I've had it work where another rider's horn didn't, but I have also had it not get the attention of some drivers. So this horn isn't the fix to distracted drivers, but it is better than a stock horn.

As for the install, it is bigger than they make it sound, but fortunately the horn and air compressor can be separated. This allowed me to mount it on my CBR600RR (even though they don't leave much room under my plastics.) I mounted my compressor between the engine and the headers, then I used hose to connect the compressor to the horn that I mounted on the side of my bike, just under my gas tank. Definitely not a bolt on "Plug & Play" accessory. It requires a lot of power, so some more advanced wiring is required.

I definitely recommend this horn over any other, but don't expect it to get the attention of everyone when you need it. That said, I'm going to install them on all of my bikes!

Summary: Can't say enough.
Comment: This is absolutely the loudest horn on two wheels in Korea! Installation was very simple. I ordered the wiring harness too, helped a lot. I installed it in my Hyosung Rally 100. Soooo easy! I used the stock horn bracket moved over to the left relay mount. The hardest thing is running a 20 amp wire from the Stebel relay all the way up front to the horn. I used large guage wire and put it inside a plastic tube to protect from chaffing. But best of all, the shipping hauled and was here in <10 days! Beep, beep!!! ha ha ha....

Summary: Bad Instructions and awkward, but also loud.
Comment: I bought this for a Harley Sportster and the installation has been a serious hassle.

First, the horn is large and awkward and they state that it must be vertical and the intakes must be facing backward, but the horn only has a single mounting option so it was very difficult finding a spot on a motorcycle to place it.

Second, the instructions state 40ft-lbs of torque required, but the cheap metal from which they made the the bracket cracked after about 20ft-lbs.

I still have not found a place on my bike to mount this awkward-cracked beast-horn and without a machine shop to fabricate a bracket, it looks unlikely. So, I reinstalled my old horn and I still sound like the road runner (meep meep).

As for function, I tried it for volume both with and without the relay. The relay makes a big difference, but adds a bit of hassle when wiring. Depending on how your machine is wired, the diagram may be wrong. If you understand that your old horn button actuates the 85/86 circuit, which relays to the 87/30 and actuates this horn, you should be fine. With the relay, the horn is a loud two tone blast that will definitely get noticed. It sounds a bit like a locomotive horn. Pretty sweet... if you can attach it.

I would welcome any tips on attaching this horn.

Summary: Pretty loud, but big and installation is tough
Comment: After reading the reviews, I expected the horn to be louder. It is pretty loud, but don't expect it to compete in loudness with air horns on cars and trucks. It's also relatively high pitched and musical, so it's not as aggressive of a sound as you might hope. I did a test where I put my video camera inside my car with music playing, and rode by on my motorcycle with the old and then new horns honking. In both cases the horn was tough to hear until the motorcycle was pretty close or there was a pause in the music. That said, on my first ride with the new Stebel, a van pulled in front of me so I honked (having a new horn made me a bit trigger happy). The van pulled off the road and stopped, which is a more dramatic reaction than I've ever had before. Something about the air horn sound just seems to get people's attention.

Installation was a real bugger. I spent many hours hunting for a place to mount it, crafting a mounting bracket, and wiring it up. It's fairly large and heavy, and I wanted it to be hidden by my bike's fairing, so there weren't many installation choices. The wiring kit I bought for an extra $10 didn't include long enough wires to reach from my battery to the old horn (I wired the relay for the Stebel in parallel with my old horn to make both of them useful), so I still had to make a trip to the hardware store for supplies.

Overall, I do think this horn is a worthwhile safety feature, and I'm glad I added it to my VFR800. Just be sure you're up to a big project before starting it yourself.

Summary: Everyone hears this horn!
Comment: I had this horn installed on my Kawasaki "Indian" Drifter in the space for the original horn without any problem.

It's the most important modification I've done - and one of the cheapest! The horn is loud enough to be heard by anyone in the general area - even with their windows up and their sound system at full blast.

Unfortunately, the rider's ears will always be just a few feet from the horn, and a short blast is actually painful - even with a helmet on!
