My new Stebel Nautilus Air Horn
It was 50 degrees and sunny today, here in Indianapolis. I went for a 75 mile ride and ended up buying a Stebel Air Horn at Cycle Outfitters. Came home and on Amizon.com I ordered a "Universal Plug-n-Play Wiring Harness for Motorcycle Air Horns" ($25.90 delivered) to make the install easy peasy. Once it gets here that'll be my next project.

Spyderpops LEDs on fenders, mirrors, saddlebags, top case and RT rear panel. Spyderpops Rock Guard. BajaRon Swaybar, Wolo Bad Boy horn, Freedom Windshield, Elka Shocks.

That is very unfortunate, but I'd have to say that Hell is much worse unfortunately than anything we experience on earth.

I am going to want to replace my lousy meep meep horn as well. Do you just unplug the old one and plug in the new one? Or do you have to do something more complicate and run power, relay, etc?

Relocate it too. The original is covered by a lot of tuberware. I put my new bad boy air horn into one of the air ducts. When I blew it the first time, it really scared me. I had to go change my diapers.

I compared the various ones for: 1. Price, 2. Multiple sound frequencies, 3. Decibel readings at 2 meters.
It took me a week to decide. But remember I am OCD on this stuff.

So did your OCD take you to the Rolo BadBoy Air Horn.....where did you find the best price on your horn (whatever one you have!!). Thanks

I bought a RoloBadBoy knockoff from Aerostich. It was identical in nearly every way, but less expensive. http://www.aerostich.com/ear-cannon-air-horn.html

It won't fit where the OEM horn is located. You need to plan on wiring it, and placing it further up front. I put it into one of the ducts. To connect it, my mechanic Just used wire, wire connectors, and zip ties. It really is loud.
I mean like majorly not quiet, as my next door teenager said.
I was going to buy the extra harness, but my mechanic said don't

Same approach I have used on 2 RTs and it works just fine!
Still dont understand why anyone wants to install a harness and special mounting unless they want to use the oem horn along with the Stebel...

Yep my oogah horn is tucked in one of those front ducts. That horn will stay with the '10..this one is going on the '14....Off to order horn and have on my shelf to take to dealer when I pick up the '14 (Spyderfest 2014!!!)..And I don't want quiet for my horn....so pretty sure this will get the job done...

My comments on the Stebel Nautilus air horns:
Out of the box, on the bench, to me this was a loud horn, but out in the open, mounted on the bike, I was disappointed with it. I did not think it was al that loud compared to my air horns I had on the autos, but size here is a issue, so something got to give.
On my 2013 RT, I mounted the horn in the same place as the stock one was at. Mounted my relay right next to the horn, and wired the relay to the battery. I drilled a 1/4" hole that went in to the trunk to mount the horn in the right place to face down in the hole like the stock horn was, mounted the relay to the metal mount the stock horn was on. Pain in the butt to access, since you got to take the whole front end off, remove the headlight and pull out the left tunnel to access it.
I just traded in the 2013 and I went back to the motions to remove it all and put it back to stock. Not sure using the Nautilus again on the 2014, but for sure I need something better then the stock horn.
This was my second Nautilus horn, the first one I mounted on my truck, did not like it much on the truck either, and some time has passed and I forgot all about it. Then I saw the post about this horn and order it, got it, and was thinking that I seen this before some where and I forgot all about the fact that I tried this same one before. Now I have two of them in my junk box of parts.

Put mine on the ATV!
I don't know yet how loud or what sound the OEM horn on the 2013 RT is as it was delivered a couple of days before Christmas and between cold, snow, and mods, I haven't had it out of the garage yet!
Several years ago I bought a Stebel Nautilus to put on my Goldwing. I didn't do it for two reasons. First, there just was not room anywhere on the 'Wing to mount it, at least not how I would have liked. Second, surprisingly it was no louder than the OEM horns! I ended up putting it on my ATV which didn't have a horn on it. Works great on it!
If I conclude the Spyder OEM horn sounds too wimpy I'm thinking of going with the Stebel, or Bad Boy trumpet version with the trumpets mounted on the front suspension A arms.

I was looking at the screaming banshee too, how hard was the installation on a Spyder?
