• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Me So Horny

I just shoehorned a Stebel Nautilus Compact black into the same spot the factory horn was. NOT an easy task, but I wanted it to be hidden and use the same wiring.
I had to fabricate a bracket, mounting it on the same bolt location as the original horn, and it was plug-N-play using the same wire. The factory horn was protected by a 20A fuse, and the air horn requires the same, so that worked out well.
I nipped out a little larger hole in the air intake scoop so the horn could project the sound down and out without restriction.
The whole project took 3 hours as the whole front end had to come off. The left fog light assembly was removed for better access.
It was easy once I saw what needed to be removed. It just takes patience, especially when re-assembling it as all of the tabs must be lined up before the rivets are replaced.
The new horn is much louder to alert those cagers, and it has that nice European dual tone sound as it is made in Italy.
A nice mod to be sure. C-YA RL

RL, Sounds like you did'nt use the relay that comes with the Stebel. Did you just connect directly to the existing 2-wire 20amp connection used for the stock horn ? Has this worked ok since installed?
I am concerned about the fine print wording on my Stebel instructions... "This horn uses almost 20 amps of power. Most factory horns are designed for much less power. If you install this horn without a heavy-duty wiring kit & 20a fuse, you will destroy your existing horn switch and may ignite your wiring."

I am about to do the same install on my RT and appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Jack

Jack,
So Far everything is working fine and no smoking wires :D
I think there have been a few others that followed my lead with no adverse effects. Go for it.
