Stebel Magnum to 2008 GSA

[Big Nick]

Just tried fitting a Stebel Magnum horn to my 2008 GSA (ESA) and have failed miserably

There isn't enough room and it either fouls the forks or the front suspension unit

Anyone managed it and where/how did you find room ????

 

[sockpuppet]

there are a few threads on this...at least one on the 1200gs sub section page 1.

Search and all shall become clear

Panic over, managed to fit it in the gap set aside for the emissions canister thingy (fitted on some US bikes)

Its angled up over so I fully expect it will fill with water but I'll get the drill out if it does and make some drainage holes

The magnum is definately a bit louder than stock but the tone of it is a lot deeper and generally not as

i really do not see the point in changing the horn.i really can think of a lot more to do with my time and money.
only my opinion

Depends if you've ever had somebody reverse into you despite you repeatedly using the horn and them not hearing it or alternatively somebody pull out towards you on a dual carriageway to overtake not knowing they are moving straight into your path.
In my book £10 is small price to pay for something that might prevent you being in an accident.

So you're happy with the little moped-like "meep" that it emits which cannot be heard at anything over 30mph?

I can think of many things which people change which are LESS important that changing the horn. You are entitled to your opinion, of course.

my stebel has saved me from a 80mph side swipe and a 50mph SMIDSY.

Worth every penny!!!!

Any chance of a pic? I'm struggling too.

Thinking about fitting one to my newly aquired GSA as well - is there any reason why it couldn't be fitted to the centre member of the frame under the beak with a U bolt? As far as I can see it wouldn't foul the suspension.

It certainly fouls on the non-Adventure model if fitted there.
