"Compact Nautilus: When you absolutely, positively have to scare the crap out of every mudder fugger on the road--accept no substitutes!"

Yesterday I took the fairings off (thanks Sasquatch for pics!) and installed my new horn (thanks again, Malloc, for your installation post), and today I got it wired to go. I also put the fairings back on (yay!--no bark off either the fairings or my knuckles), and tested the horn.

Me LIKEY! I'm almost tempted to troll for some SIDSY bugger to help me test it.

what type of horn did you install? I'm looking for a horn that roars like a tiger. Do you know where I can get one?

Don't know about roaring like a tiger, but this one is L-O-U-D (139 db 4" from the bell). It's a Compact Nautilus, made by Stebel (manufacturer's link here: http://www.stebel.it/stebel/index2006.htm - click "products", then "electropneumatics" then "nautilus compact series" --I can't get a direct link to the page).

There's an installation link I used here:

Youtube search for Compact Nautilus will get you a sound, but won't do justice to the difference in volume.

Hope this helps!

(Oh, and of course I don't work for Stebel or any of that nonsense...I just really like this horn!)

Cheers,

EDIT: I checked your profile and now understand your reference to tigers. SENSATIONAL paint-job! That must have cost you an arm and a leg...so to speak. I hope you find a horn that sounds like a tiger...you might be able to get a custom P.A. horn for under your fairing and record a Tiger's roar? COOL idea, if you can pull it off!

Flushed the brakes, lubed the clutch and rode her long and hard.

We ARE talking about your bike, right?

Changed the oil and filter and got her started. Realized I didn't take out the battery and it may be time for a new one

On Friday I bought a new battery and installed it. After a few turns, she fired right up. Rode her long and hard on Friday and Saturday....I'm still talking about my bike :-O

Saturday I rode her to the local Iron Pony to see if anything new came out since the weather was so nice. Bought a couple of rear flush mount signals for the rear because I didn't like the lil dinky ones that came with my bike. I'll post the before and after pics of that in a separate thread... I'm just happy she fired up after a few starts from a long winter!

Frame sliders, and some stickers. So glad to get the sliders on!

Finally gave it a much needed bath to clean up all the knooks and crannys. It was dark by the time I started putting my plastics back on, and I'm not totally convinced that I like the red on this Pro-Bolt fairing screw kit (dont think it's gonna match up with my translucent red from M & R). Sooo, if I get home in time today I'm gonna take a better look at the reds in daylight.

Rode mine to work, lunch, and back home.

[t.c.mitchell]

Put back together front forks and gauge cluster. Got new front tire mounted and pulled off the back wheel so I can get new tire mounted tomorrow.
