"Rare" is right. I just bought one too. Been wanting one for awhile but when I bid awhile back it got out of my price range. Thanks for the heads up!

John... I was envious of yours at FuXXt. Not one set but two. If you can find the distributor...I would really be interested. Thanks!!

Hi John, One suggestion would be the pegs that Jaws carries. I haven't been able to find them anywhere on this side of the pond. Thanks! Bob

fucking oil. I like the sound of that, yummy. :icon_clap:

The horn is in and working great. I haven't had a chance to scare any old ladies yet......but I'm waiting. bartonmd talked me into taking the time to mount it the right way. I was able to use the same bracket...just twisted it here and there using a vice and a big set of pliers. It doesn't look like it would but the tail went back on just fine. I'm sure I lose some volume having it buried under the seat but I'm happy. As promised....here are a few pictures. Thanks again for all the help guys!

Please let me know when you figure out how to mount it in the OEM horn position. Like I said earlier, mine fit nicely in the very end of the tail section but it's not mounted at the recommended angle and I'm not sure how loud it will be underneath the seat and myself. I was able to use a small shelf bracket I had in the garage to mount it with no fabrication. I would rather have it towards the front but as you can see I had enough challenge just figuring out how to wire it. :icon_doh: Thanks again everyone for the help.

Will do! The nice thing about this particular horn is there are no air lines....it's all connected as a unit. I wasn't able to mount it in the direction the company recommends but from what I read...it doesn't really matter. <<< Insert "Unit" and "Mount" jokes here. >>>

Great! Thanks for the help guys!

So basically..... Terminal 85 .... is is the ground. Terminal 30/51 .....is the wire coming from my battery. Terminal 86 .... is the wire coming from my horn button. Terminal 87.....goes to my new horn. Am I on the right track?

Yep, that's what I did too... Took those connections to the relay, then powered the relay, with it's own fused connection to the battery, and went to the horn from there... Mike AHH!! OK! That makes sense. I think I am trying to make this more complicated than it needs to be. I was thinking the relay needed to go between the bike's typical power source and the horn button. But you're saying put the relay between the button and the horn where the relay can still be powered directly from the battery...right? But...if that's the case...my relay has a place for four connections. Two are used for the battery to the relay and then the relay to the horn. I would use a third from the existing horn wiring to the relay (the wire that Rick had powering his old horn. But then what about the fourth? Does it not get used or do I need a different relay? Sorry for the basic wiring questions. I really have no clue what I am doing here. :icon_doh:

I was under the impression (maybe mistakenly) that the power coming from the stock wiring was not enough to get the full effect of the air horn and the relay was needed to get the volume that will stir grandma back into her lane. No offense intended to Rick's "mounting" , but the existing air horns sounded a bit sickly. From what I've researched, it sounded like that's usually because air horns don't get enough power and that's why the relay was needed. Maybe I need to just keep it simple and try just plugging into the new horn?

I've recently purchased a Stebel Nautilus and am in the process of hooking it up. For those of you that have installed air horns that used a relay...where did you tap into your existing horn wire between the battery and the relay? I'm mounting the horn in the tail where Rick/Speed99 had a pair of air horns mounted already. Thankfully...he's already got the wires run from the horn switch all the way back. The wiring strait from the battery to the relay to the new horn is simple. What has me nervous is tapping into the existing wiring. If anyone is interested in one of these horns, I found this site that sells it for roughly the same price but includes all the wires and connectors needed. Shipping was fast too. Thanks in advance for any help!

I had the same problem when searching for HID for some reason. Kept getting really strange results. Anyway....like John said....the guy is still honoring the price that John mentioned. Customer service and shipping is fantastic! I emailed him at 2am Saturday night to verify the prices. Within a half hour he emailed me back. On Monday....they were at my door. Amazing they got to me so fast all the way from Hong Kong. I haven't installed them yet but Warchild has some great instructions with photos. Good luck!

Got my smoked farkle from John (above). Fantastic price and shipped fast. To coin an Ebay phrase....buy with confidence!

Found the Titanium Screen Kit at Bike Bandit but what a pain in the ass!! They are not listed as a CBR1100XX windscreen bolt options. Like you said Warchild....they only show the buttonhead ones. You have to search by manufacturer. Go to Aftermarket Parts - Street ... Sport Bike ... Bolt Kits (Pro-Bolt) - Honda ... Honda CBR1100 Blackbird. They'll be at the bottom listed as "Pro-Bolt Titanium Screen Kit (Honda CBR1100 Blackbird 1999)". They're $26.87 which is a bit cheaper than Tasty Nuts. Then again...you won't have the enjoyment of getting a package from Tasty Nuts.
