I had a Stebelus Magnum on my 1100S and I foolishly let it go with the bike. I cannot find one in the UK 'and' I think it's going to be in excess of £30 for a new one. Does anyone know where I can get one.

I got mine from Nippy Normans but they don't seem to list them now, but are listing some Fiamm replacements

I seem to remember reading that they no longer make them due to too many faults and complaints. I had two ,on two previous bikes and found them superb. Dunno where you could fit one (if you could get it) on an R12S though?

I have just discovered that they went out of business a while back (bummer) they are supposed to back up and running now but with precious little availability in the UK. Very annoying.
It's for the Harley Eyore and I know you're not interested in that

From what I remember the Stebel didn't do so well in a comparison test. Didn't stop me from buying one. Here is the comparison.

Give these a try. The low price belies their quality. I had them on my 11S and they were more than adequate. They give a
very loud, attention grabbing but pleasing twin-tone note and, at less than 7 quid (P+P inc) they're a real steal.

Yeah I've seen those. They're great but too big. The chrome Harley guys use them but it would be out of place on mine. Cheers.

That's a thought Nick. Finding a home for two might be a problem though. I've actually ordered a single Fiamm AMS80 blaster high tone. It's half of a set but there's a couple of guys on youtube have fitted them and they seem quite impressive. It's a snail type about the same size as my old Stebel.

Certainly cheap enough - er, sorry, can't say cheap any more can you? Affordable...
Nick, did you fit these in the standard position? If so, must've been a squeeze? And did you utilise the supplied relay? Cheers.

Hi Mike, Yes, after removing the original horn I managed to fit them either side and just in front of the headstock. As I say this was on my 11S and you're right, it was a squeeze. I also used the relay but that's very small and I think I located it near the left-side fuse box.
I actually liked them that much that I bought another set to re-place the 'pip-squeak' horn on my Honda but that's proved impossible. There really is nowhere to mount them (unobtrusively) on my present bike.
I found a couple of pic's from when I re-painted the forks. If you look closely you can just make out the red/black horns and the relay.
Nick.

Nice one Nick, thanks. For that money I think I'll give 'em a go.
