Use the relay... trust me on this one. My Stebel will still dim the headlights slightly and that is hardwired to the battery and with a relay present. Did I mention the thing will absolutely blow you away? For wiring suggestions go to the Bandit FAQ and look for the Stebel horn installation thread.

I have really got to see this horn, tx! I read your post on installation, but I have to hear this thing in person. Maybe at an ETMG. 139db - Jeez.

139 db?

Seriously.... does the bike stop running when you hit the horn button?

The posted DB measurement (according to the fine print) is taken at 4" away from the horn.... not a likely useful distance but even at the standard 10 feet the horn is WAY louder than stock. I'll scrounge around for the Stebel web link... they have wave files of all their horns and the Nautilus is about as obnoxious as you can get - without using straight pipes.

Ummm... that would indicate a bad wiring job

but it really does dim the lights slightly when used - only noticable at night.

What's the package say they draw? Fuse accordingly.
