    I'm in the progress of fitting a Stebel horn.

    STEBEL S.p.a.

    Re: A louder horn?

    You could fit the Stebel Magnum (no extra relay required) or the Stebel Nautilus (which does need an extra relay as it is an air horn).

    Both available from, among others, Nippy Normans -

    HORNS - STEBEL-NIPPY NORMANS - the No. 1 supplier of BMW motorcycle accessories!
    Brrrmm - '04 XL650V Transalp in Silver

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Re: A louder horn?

    I've fitted a Magnum and it bolted straight in place of the original and just plugs into the original wires. I'm now no longer ashamed to use my hooter. It's been on about a year now and has been through some awful weather but still works fine.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    I fitted an air horn two years ago, loud enough to still makes ones ears bleed.

    My bike has a canbus system so I'm not sure if the nautillus with the relay is an option?

    That should not be too much of a problem. Use the existing wiring to the horn to operate the relay. Then use a separate, fused supply from the battery to operate the horn.
