    Stebel nautilus horn on an XL700?

    Has anyone found a good place to mount a Stebel nautilus horn on an XL700? I'd love to get one but have no idea where I'd mount it...
    Guess as and when I get some engine bars I might be able to mount one on them...

    Thoughts?

    hi nareef,
    a few have them on the 650 we use the compact version mounted where the oroginal goes with the old bracket removed and a new one bodged in its place. [thanks to original bodger who I cant remember]


    great for waking those half asleep motorists up whatever there driving/riding

    You could take it apart and mount the bits anywhere you like. On my Tiger the horn is inside the nosecone and the compressor is under the seat linked to the horn with a length of air hose.

    Have a look at this thread........pictures are worth a thousand words etc.

    I think that might have been me.

    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?

    Everything I've read says that if you want a LOUD horn, that’s relatively compact, this is the one to get.
    Just need to figure out where/how to fit it...
