Not too long ago I was reading a post with photos of a horn and relay install. I tried every keyword search I could think of and can't find it. Anyway I just picked up a Wolo Bad Bad and that's today's project.
From the posts I did find I guess I'll pull the body work firat BEFORE I ger frustrated.

I just bought a pair of horns I want to add and could not find anything on line that was helpful either. Guess i will take to the Vic shop and have them do it.
I am not a wrench kind of guy.

The Stebel horn that I installed a couple years ago has been working well.

Your welcome...;-)  

The Stebel air horn mounted with the air chamber facing inwards has kept the elements out of the horn cavity. The loudness of the air horn hasn't been compromised either.

Hi, I installed a pair of dual horns off a wrecked ford e-150 van. Now it sounds like a tour bike should.

The Wolo is just a relabelled Stebel.  Mine sits in the open where the old horn was and has been working great for over two years, and with the horn down and out the sound really carries.  My install is posted in the tech reference.  Check there before searching.  The search engine doesn't go very far back and isn't particularly good, which is a shame since there is a lot of good info that you can never find.

Just tossing out an update on the Stebel Horn install using this thread and the above link from KG as well as the pics. Took about 2 hours start to finish, im a little slow on wiring.. Anyway, maybe going back into this to move it up higher as shown in Thomas's pic above but for now, very little of the chamber mouth exposed. I did mount the old horn bracket vertically with the bend at the top towars the fuel tank and then using the allthread, bolted it to the Stebel from there. Electrical was as described, tapped the electric glove pigtail on the backbone in front of the seat and ran ONE power using the common ground from the horn switch. 18GA wire for the power feed and ziptied to current harness routing down to horn. ITS LOUD! I like it and am now LOOKING for stuff to honk at. Thanks for the posts, may be a few months but at least you know they are being used!

I had the Wolo on my 2008. I just did the Stebel on my 2013. They look almost identical, but the Stebel is listed as 139 decibel. I mount both the same, I made a bracket and used the bottom fuel tank bolt. I have a photo of the first install I can post wheni I get to a PC. I used the original horn bolt for the ground.
