Stebel On !

09-27-2010, 08:42 PM

Just put the Stebel on my '07 1600. Never realized how puny the stock horn was until now. Everyone should put one on their bike. A definite plus for safety ! I am very pleased.

Mine has been on for a week. I like to use it

Yeah, I can't wait to turn a few heads. Should be as much fun as when my Dad put a cow horn on his car.

Good job Frank. Wasn't too bad huh?

09-27-2010, 09:34 PM

Thanks, Mitch. Wasn't bad at all. The wiring harness made it a piece of cake. Thanks for your advice.

Had the stebel, It burned out on me because of a faulty relay! But good news is I am getting another. I think they are great for safety and just to scare the Hell out of someone when they bend down to have a look at the horn LOL

LOL . Yeah, I've already pulled that one on the dog. He left a deposit on the carport.

Stebel makes a number of different horns.
Look here http://www.best-price.com/search/lan...kaid/45365851/

I have this one

There is also ones that look like this but go under other names. I've seen "Bad Boy", "Blaster". I've seen them in a sister store to Harbor Freight, that we have up here called "Princess Auto".

Like you guys I like mine and have had one for a few years now.

The only problem I've found with the Stebel is that its use is more often than not accompanied with high blood pressure, expletives and ruined underwear. It beats broken bones and road rash though.

jandreu · 09-28-2010, 02:29 PM

I've found that I use my horn less now that I have the Stebel. It's so loud that I feel it's some what obnoxious so I only use it when it's really needed. But when in heavy traffic I always have my thumb over the button!

Also, it sounds like a big bus so when people hear it I think they may still over look the bike as they are looking for something a lot larger, but it does bring them out of what ever stupor they are in.

@ kowboy I have the same one as rickyboy. I bought mine from bikerhighway.com.

@ sin city stan LOL !! Yep, a Stebel will have that effect on people.

I went for a short ride after work today, and cut the Stebel loose a few times. The best was a guy heard it over his riding lawnmower. Bet he had to clean the seat. Seriously, I really do like this addition. Shoulda done it long ago.

I have used mine to get the attention of some drivers "thinking" about pulling out of a side street on me. They all stopped.
