Horn upgrades

[Wonko The Sane]

I've got fed up of dozy fuckwit granddads in faux 4x4's (usually Nissan Quashquais) just moving into my lane when I'm next to them on dual carriageways and ignoring the fact I'm there despite holding down the horn (and braking to get out the way)

is it possible to upgrade my ZZR 600's horn without causing running issues or MOT issues quickly and easily?

Just want something that makes them look if they're just being dozy - I'm aware defensive riding is the only thing to protect against people who have seen me and just decided not to give a fuck.

Just buy a cheap air horn off ebay.

Stebel Nautilus, I've got one all brand new and ready to fix to next bike. £30 odd quid from a Dutch Ebay seller.

I liked my Stebel. It's off the bike but is 2b fitted.

Sounds like this:

In all honesty, I haven't even removed mine from its packaging. I was going to fit it to my ER6 but now that's
due for replacement I'll save it for my next bike. Although being honest even the mini stebel is quite a big unit.
It will certainly be easier to hide on a faired bike. It does have a relay though, and will likely require running direct to
the battery if the horn circuit can't hold the power required to run it.

This pic illustrates the size a bit as there's a hand in it.
The one on the right is the 'compact'.

You can dismantle the horn to trumpets and compressor and there's a how to fit in conjunction with the original horn
here---> https://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?140346-Stebel-Nautilus-how-to-(with-pictures)
for a pseudo 2 stage horn if you've a practical side. I may attempt something similar if my next bike is short
of mounting points.

Loads of vids on you tube showing fitting solutions but the one splitting the unit is the most ingenious.

I use a nautilus and it is (was) great, mine is sounding a big wheezy at the moment so might need replacing/cleaning out whatever. I hacve had it several years

Chinese Nautilus copies off eBay £11-12 posted. Very loud and no worse made than the £30 originals.

Cheers OP for saving me from starting a thread for this exact topic.

The Anal Intruder's horn is quite than a fly farting in a sleeping bag (can barely hear it over the engine at ticker..

I'll be looking around at some of those suggested.
