Product Description

Want distracted drivers to pay attention? They will with this ear-splitting, 139 dB motorcycle air horn. Useful for getting that preoccupied driver to drop their cell phone, the piercing sound of this Stebel Air Horn can be heard three city blocks away! This motorcycle air horn produces a sound that is as much as 20 times louder than a stock motorcycle horn, so the Stebel Nautilus will help keep you safe. With a Big Truck high and low tone at the same time, the Stebel Nautilus eliminates the need for two horns. And, this loud air horn will last, as the horn can withstand more than 100,000 continuous action cycles. You'll be letting drivers know you're there for years to come. Not only can this horn help save your life, it's also compact and won't cramp your style. The patented Black Stebel Nautilus Compact air horn features space-saving engineering that no other Air Horn offers. The compressor and trumpets are integrated into a completely self-contained, well-styled black and silver (zinc plated) unit, measuring only 4.5" x 4.5" x 3", that fits many motorcycle makes and models. How will this Air Horn fit my Motorcycle? Two easy steps: 1) Find room. Find a space on your motorcycle where there is room for the 4.5" x 4.5" x 3" horn. 2) Hook it up. The air cylinder of the horn must be mounted vertically, with no more than a 15 degree variance from vertical and the air intake tube facing toward the back of the motorcycle. *Mounting the horn may require additional fasteners or brackets.

This is a GREAT horn for a motorcycle! I had one installed on my 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit VT750C2 and it worked like a champ. Fast-forward a decade and now I installed one on my 2019 Indian Scout Sixty. It's extremely loud and gets people's attention when you need to which can literally save your life on a motorcycle.

It's a big horn so installation can be a little tricky on a bike. I had to fabricate a bracket out of a steel strip I picked up at the hardware store.

I highly recommend buying the separate wiring harness! I originally tried to cheat by just plugging the horn straight into the factory wires. It worked at first but slowly became less loud. You really do need to use the included relay and follow the instructions. Once I rewired it correctly, it's as strong as ever.

I wonder if the negative reviewers just failed to follow the instructions like I did originally. While installation is fairly straightforward if you watch enough YT how-to videos, it's not a simple plug-n-play.

Great Horn - Installation tricky

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2008

Verified Purchase

I recently was almost run off the road on my Suzuki V-Strom by a driver merging onto the freeway. She was singing to a tune and never looked into the lane she was changing into, which happened to be mine. I blew my horn which had no affect at all. My factory motorcycle horn is about equivalent in volume to a person blowing their nose with a bad cold. My only option was to speed up and get in between her and the car on my left. Once I got clear I was determined to get a new horn.

I received my order in only 2 days using the standard ground shipping option. That was surprising since some of the stuff from Amazon lately has taken 2 weeks to get to me. I also ordered the optional wiring kit which came in the same box. I strongly suggest you get this kit unless you have a garage full of different gauge wires and connectors.

Installation,
It took me 2 hours to install this horn. First it's not small so you have to find a suitable mounting place. Forget about mounting it where the existing hockey puck size horn is. Then you have to buy or fabricate your own mounting bracket because it doesn't come with any way to attach it to the bike. The one screw it does come with is stated in the instructions as having to be torqued to 50 foot pounds. For a horn? There are no written wiring instructions with the horn, but there is with the optional wiring kit. But unless you want to be confused, don't read the instructions and instead follow the wiring diagram which is the same on both the horn and wiring kit. The outcome was good but it took a lot longer then I expected. If you are not good with electrical wiring expect to spend even more time.

Bottom Line:
THIS HORN IS LOUD! It does exactly what it says it does. It corrects what I believe is a major safety flaw on most bike and some cars.

Why not five starts:

It should come with the wiring kit. It's only $10.00. They could add it to the price of the horn and charge less for the combo since it doesn't require separate packages.

It should come with a simple black bracket that would work for the majority of installs.

Loud horn but don't try to split it

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

I've bought two of these in the past and this was the third. The first one I separated the compressor and the trumpet and ran a hose between them, it ended up looking great on my bike and did its job perfectly - an 18-wheeler turned right from the left lane in front of me and I had nowhere to go and ended up laying the bike down and it slid under the trailer, but I had laid on the horn and the driver stopped before he ran over the bike and said he never say me and only knew I was there because he heard my horn. The second one was on another bike, one of the bladder/trumpets stopped working eventually but I can't really fault the horn for that, since it was mounted facing front right above the exhaust pipes, so for such torturous conditions I'd say it held up pretty well.

Well, Stebel has changed it up a bit. I tried to separate the horn and compressor like I did to the first one, but I guess they wised up to people doing that and decided to glue the pieces together so well that you can't separate them without completely breaking it, which I ended up doing. I ended up going with a different style horn and this one is sitting unused in my toolbox. Maybe I'll rig it back together and put it in my truck or something. I can't really fault Stebel for that, since separating the pieces is not really what you're supposed to be doing, but it was still disappointing.

Loud, loud, LOUD. Difficult to install.

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm very happy I bought this horn, it is LOUD. I was very proud of myself for installing it myself, it took me all day. If I had to do the install over again, I could probably do it in under 30 minutes. But since I am not an electrician I struggled figuring out how to wire it, and I had to make a couple trips to the hardware store. The wiring kit I bought with it (Wolo (MCHWK-2) Air Horn Wiring Kit) is not all that helpful as far as parts go, but the instructions that came with the kit were much better than the instructions that came with the horn itself, and they helped me figure everything out. To install this right, you'll need wire protector sleeves, otherwise you'll have bare wires running form the horn. To mount it, you'll probably need to buy hardware as well. I used a mending plate, basically just a flat strip of metal with two holes in it that I bought at the hardware store for five bucks. Before you start, Google user forums for YOUR specific model motorcycle, because the process is going to be different for every bike. I found several web sites where owners of my model bike installed this same horn. If you have no mechanical skills at all, a mechanic
