Wiring in new horn.

[Gordon T]

Ive mounted a new Stebel Nautilus horn to the front of the bike.

Now, where do I source a plug that will go into existing connector for the standard horn? I dont really fancy cutting the plug off and joining the wires. Its only going to power a relay for the heavier loading for the Stebel. It would be a lot better as it would be waterproof and I can then hide the relay somewhere safe and hopefully water resistant.

It is but Im buggered if Im paying £17 for one. There must be a supplier of auto plugs surely.

Leave the standard horn in place (if you can) use two "Scotchlock connectors to take power from the existing horn to power the relay. Simple Cheap and you get a two tone horn.

Good idea dmilne. It may come to that in the end but I need to weatherproof the joins and would like to utilise the existing plug. Anyone know who manufactures the oem plugs?

Dont use Scotchloks. The wires will fracture where the insulation is broken. Strip back some insulation solder on a branch wire and tape up with self amalgamating tape. Ordinary PVC tape wont do.

You could get a scrap horn from such as Motorworks or any or another BMW breaker and use it's connector.

You could use one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Automotiv...217451?hash=item2a642bc8ab:g:Ky8AAOSwg1pXMeaO

Go into a BMW car dealership go to the parts department and ask for part number part number 80 00 0 611 656.
When the guy cant find it tell him its listed under tools and not parts. Mine cost less than £5.00

As Bendy said do not use scotchloks they spell death to wiring!

BTW A Steilbel horn is likely to need a relay. The canbus wont cope with the power surge.

Yep. New relay is here. Horn mounted, just need the plug to connect it. I will try to get the plug before connecting to the loom as you mentioned earlier. Its tight under the tank and a plug would make it so much easier. G.

I was just looking at fitting a Nautilus to my 07 RTP to replace the crappy standard horn and wondered if anyone had any images of one fitted to an RT and the best location?

Of course my mate thinks I should try to utilise the original siren speakers to make a really loud horn but I think that will be more work than sticking a Nautilus on.
