bjt - update... deleted the other "update" and added the NMN green filter.
After a little tuning on the JuiceBox (.5, 7,7,2,2), the combination of (1) JB, (2) No Magic Neon green filter and (3) Mel's Monster Garage cool air intake runs very, very good. The roadster pulls very strongly all the way to red line even in 5th gear.
While I don't have actual dyno facts to back this up, I think this combination is about as good as the Evo race air flow setup with the JB. Plus, there's no head-pounding racket from the intake as from the race filter.
I give the combination a big, two thumbs up!

I would love to do this but Australian Spyders, like European Spyders , use all 4 headlights and I don't think this intake will fit

You were bored, huh?
Don't have the Spyder anymore. See this thread: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=15206 for the details.
I still have the duals setting here in case I ever buy another Spyder.
Thanks for the complements!

It's 15 degrees today with 8" of snow on the ground. Hot coffee and eight pages of mods help to pass the time. Thanks.

Everything is dandy here. A little cool but no white stuff.
How's the yellow Valk doing for Hotglue? And, when is your new Spyder due?
BTW... did you tell your relative that the exhaust warranty was 12 minutes or 12 miles and that it expired long ago?

Heh, heh... my Spyder was traded in late 2009. But, thanks anyway.

Glad to keep you from boredom... or did you just exchange it for another type.

I gave up both three and two wheels after almost 50 years. It got to the point where every time I geared up in the morning, I was constantly thinking about what bones I could break that day. Don't miss it at all.
Got a 2012 Infinity G37 hard-top convertible about a year ago... that works for me, now.

Thanks for the visual information on installing the Steibels!
Originally Posted by ataDude
.... I must be slacking off. This week the only new goody is a Stebel air horn. It's approximately 6" cubed and is a heavy current draw... instructions say to use a 30 amp fuse... so I did.
I had several electrical problems with this install... probably because of the Spyder's CAN-BUS electrical system. So... I did a little more than one would usually do to hook up a horn. For example, one continuing problem that resulted from hooking it up to my accessory-switched add-on fuse box entailed the horn continuously honking after the 15-second delay ended for the switched power. Strange stuff from the CAN-BUS system.
I wound up leaving the the stock horn intact... so that the "system" would be dual tone. The Stebel states it is a 300 m/h horn... the stock is about 500-600 m/h. They sound good together.
The stock horn is negatively-switched (surprise). In order to overcome the Can-Bus gremlins, I tapped both the positive and negative connections at the stock horn and ran the new wires back to the relay (supplied with the Stebel). I also used a direct battery connection for a power supply instead of one of my open fuse circuits. Ground for the horn also comes directly from the battery.
The relay connections used were as follows:
#30 - positive directly from battery (fused at 30 amps)
#86 - positive from tapping into the existing horn
#85 - negative from tapping into the existing horn
#87 - positive to the Stebel's positive terminal
A separate ground wire from the battery was run to the negative Stebel horn terminal.
Mounting: only one hole needed to be drilled for mounting using the bolt/nut that came with the horn. See the second picture.
This is not one of the high-toned motorcycle-specific horns. It does sound like a car or truck. I like it!
BTW, I purchased it on eBay (with a spare) for about $45 each, shipped. Search "stebel truck" and you'll find it. I have used "Freeway Blasters" (non-air) on other bikes and they are about the same as this.
We ordered the horn, Oxford Heaterz heated grips, Storm handguards and an adjustable windfoil for on top of the factory touring windshield on Cat's RS, and so I had a day's project. These parts came from Twisted Throttle. I also ordered the $30 wiring loom for the horn. I could have saved the $, but it was just about plug n play . . . the only soldering I did was to add the stock horn in the system. The horn was easy once I saw where you mounted it. Thanks!
