These are not the Nautilus Horns yer looking for.But these are plenty loud...not near as loud as the Nautilus.But way better than stock.

This is the Nautilus you're talking about(I think)....

Kind of a "quick" install...could be refined to look(and be) much more "professional".You won't see any of the "lower parts" when the plastic upper fairing is re-installed.I did not keep this on my bike.But the best way to get this "right" would be to fashion a strap instead of the zipties.That would hold er in there VERY NICE.Trying to mount it above the fender there using the existing bolt holes and placement...it will NOT fit...it will smack the fender on compression of the forks.

Those twins work fine off the factory harness/switch.IF you wanted,you could install a thicker set of wires from your switch to the horns...but I don't know if it would make a difference.Maybe?Not necessary however.Those are FIAMM "hi/Lo" note horns.Got em off Amazon.com.Can't remember the price,but not too terribly much if I recall.No special mounting...just the removal of the factory horn mount,and then bolting into the factory horn mount holes under there.Very easy install.Terminals needed to be bent upwards at around a 90 degree to make sure they didn't catch on the radiator screen when turning full right or left...but that's it.

Thanks a lot blue for ya imformation will do that very soon

Just ordered locally ( QLD) A Sebel tm801-500hz -135db Single High Power Magnum horn. theres mix feelings on their worth,but I sure as hell want to scare the fuck outta a cager next time they dose/mobile/make-up/etc come my way

Really quick delivery,the next day

Awesome horn there Bean...now...WHERE ya gonna put that bad boy?Looks like it may do well sitting atop the upper inner fairing there,with a cutout for the trumpet to sit down through and blow forward?Just an idea..I think that's how I'd install mine...IF I had one...which...hmmmmm....I just MIGHT get one like that.Looks like a kickazz horn...you gotta let us know how she sounds.

Dont know yet blue but i'll find somewhere for sure

Whatever you decide...one thing...from my own experience...DO NOT ALTER the shape of the trumpet in any way.I ruined my one stebel by trying to shape the trumpet to fit more "professionally".So much for that eh?

Cheers blue for your imput about hitting the fender so true fuck all room there but finally did it today! hells bells I actualy got it six weeks ago! it's on top of that plate fits just right snugly under the instrument bracket, it's bloody load, that will wake the dead or any sleepy fuckwit that wonders in my lane! oh what a delight to install to turned one of those suplied flat brackets into an angle puled the center bolt out to the rear inbetween the OEM horn bolts slotted it in then just plug the OEM terminals straight on the new horn tabs,the only mod was getting the OEM HORN + BRACKET OFF AND RE-USING THE BOLTS !Pinch of Piss fairdinkum cheap >$20 safety job!

Well Bean, I went an ordered the Stebel TM80 Magnum High & low pair. Mainly cause I wanted to hear which one was better and then decide which one to fit. I liked the combined sound so much I looked at ways of mounting both. And this is what I ended up doing. Quite happy with the outcome, they hide behind the fairing really well and geez they're LOUD!!
Had the fairing off already made mounting and wiring them easy.

Installed a relay, mounted relay up behind headlight and ran a dedicated power feed with a 20 amp fuse.


With the steering turned you can see them


But can't see them from the front

And cant see them from the side either, by by golly you can hear them!!

First thing I made sure of was that they didn't foul anything, there is actually a lot more clearance than the photograph shows. The original horn actually sits closer to the radiator, I just had to tweak them in a little to keep them away from the inner fairing area.

I ordered the radiator guard ages ago, still waiting for it. If it dosn't show up soon I'm gonna ask for my money back.

What brand did ya get brenny ? Cox or Radguard or ?? R ya harrasing them mate?
