Stebel Nautilus Compact Horn on Mark 1 Bandit.

Installed the horn on the old GSF1200s T

Found a nice easy cable-tie installation point, behind the left side fairing just enough room without interfering with the steering.
I used a bit of closed-cell foam I had laying around, between the horn and the headlight/fairing support frame.



I "mounted" the relay, next to the ignition unit, under the seat, using double-sided tape.



The horn is switched on the -ve side (black wire with a blue trace) I picked up the positive (orange wire with a green trace) right next to the relay , where it comes out or the fuse box.

I chose to tap into the horn circuit and add a hidden toggle switch, so I can have a choice of standard horn or both horns.

Mmm, I was wondering exactly how compact those horns were.
thanks Peter

too much to ask for some audio?

What exactly are you after? The dynamic range of any recording would probably not do it justice, if you want to know how loud it is.

If you want to know what it sounds like, there is the manufacturers website.
Here, let me google that for you http://www.stebel.it/stebel/products.asp?IDserie=6&uso=&tipologia=ELECTROPNEUMATICS

Since you asked so nice.

Funnily enough, I ordered 2 of these on the weekend. One for the Bandit, the other for the 1400. After watching the youtube clips, they do sound like they can induce brown trousers to the unsuspecting cager

after listening to that it is another want added to the list. I'm seeing more and more reasons to go for the PC8 power unit from eastern beaver now. Where as only a week ago I was think direct from battery for the phone charger. So many electrical accessories that you kinda want the 8 seperate fuses...

OK for those of you considering installing ANY aftermarket horn, here is the relay wiring schematic. Works for 1250S/ SA/ FA and probably a lot of makes and models as well

OK I should have clarified that, I was hoping you could see from the photo. I only picked up the switched positive for the oem horn to power the relay, with positive on the relay full time the horn would sound continuously when the ignition was turned off, probably because of a back circuit through the headlight filament to ground.


This is a schematic of how I chose to run the horns.



This was to avoid any issues with legality and causing a heart attack/ OH&S issues for the inspector at rego time.
