My new Stebel Nautilus Air Horn

[ZWolf-2011]

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.

Loud Horns!

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.

I put a Screaming Banshee on mine!

"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...."

I bought the "Screaming Banshee" plug & play kit! OMG! EVERYONE hears and sees it!

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

To be honest, I got my mechanic to do it while I was having a bunch of other things done. His comment was "Simple"!
