    Mean Dog I like the way you think. Sure does make it convient don't it? I think it actually may have been Don's reasoning thou, both as an intended location for center stands AND part of the manufacturing process. Whatever I like them there. Larry

    And some folks thought a couple of us nuts who had 3 horns!!!! Well I'm sure you'll be looking forward for just about any excuse now to lay on the button. Um I mean after all you do need to test it now and again. Yea that's it. Way to go there BigShell Larry

    Both good responses Frog Man & Redneck. I generally use the switch as a grounding switch whenever possible, thus have zero current going thru them. I've never had to replace a switch using that method. The switch would be between the #85 post of the relay and ground in this situation. Just my here. Larry

    You're welcome Dog. After I made that bracket for my bike it worked just too good to keep to myself. Just had to share it with everyone who was looking for a clean install when using the Stebel horn. Larry

    Good idea on how you plan to use that. Let us know what the results are after testing it out. Larry

    Keith I was thinking of doing the same. Great idea. Since I have some stainless steel here on hand that's what I'd use too. Larry

    CJVenture nice job there. While we all know most of the fun is leaning into curves if it means going to a three wheeler or 4 in this case to continue riding the bike I say go for it. After all your safety and others is #1. Besides you're still able to enjoy your scoot and that's what counts IMO. Larry

    Sad news to hear for sure. I've never meet either of you but still consider you family. Prayers to you and your family in these trying times. Larry

    I didn't do anything to mine either. Will look later at the hose option but morev then likely leave it off. As too any warranties or malfunctions I test mine every so often. Usually away from traffic. Also that's another reason I left the electric horns in place. They're out of site and are nice back ups. Left them hooked up as well so actually running three horns. Think they'll hear me? Larry

    Nice job you done there. Hope to see it some day. You too of course. Larry

    The ideas folks here come up with amaze me at times. So many cool ideas. As much as I'd like one of these turntables I don't have the room for one. If I did I sure would have one thou. Great job there on this one Lepapehermann Larry

    Hi Salty. After looking at both your pic here and at the DiamondR site of that plate I really don't think my bracket will work with it. There's a couple of reasons I think that way. One is that the bracket I'm making lets the horn sit back closer to the frame. I could alter the length of the bracket and allow it to rest up against the back of the DiamondR plate but getting the horn mounted could be a problem. The second reason is with the horn mounted using my bracket the stock horms mounting spot is all but covered up by the horn. I see no way to access the two bolts there short of taking off the exhaust pipe. When I first started to fabricate a mount for the horn I was thinking I could use those two bolts. But soon realized it was a fast fading thought. If you've already have that plate there you may be able to simiply drill a hole in the proper spot. The horn would stick out further thou. Larry

    After some prodding by fellow members I'm offering my Stebel air horn bracket for those who wish to have one. It's made from 1/8" stainless steel and nicely polished. Pics below of it on the air horn and in the mounted position. It replaces the stock horn on the right side of the bike, and tucks in very good as well. The horn doesn't stick out beyond the exhaust pipes because of that. Price of the bracket is $15 which will include shipping priority mail. Payments can be made by PayPal at lskeels@wowway or use the same address to get my home address if sending a money order. Larry

    Ok for those of you who want a simple yet effective horn mount for these Stebel air horns here's my bracket I promised to produce. They're made from 1/8" stainless steel and polished nicely. They'll cost $15 which includes shipping by priority mail. You can either pay for it at lskeels@wowway at PayPal or e-mail me for my address if sending a money order. See the pics on page 4 post #32 of this topic for the pics. Larry

    Yea I'd thought of that statement myself but didn't want to be a smartypants here. Larry

    Can't visualize that right off but there's always more than one way to do the job. Larry

    Hi Salty Ok I just took a look at the DiamondR horn plate. While I do think you could use that plate with the Stebel air horn it's not compatable with my bracket. Also that plate would cause the air horn to protude out further than my bracket & horn combination. My bracket will allow the Stebel horn to be tucked back into the horn area more. Basicly it's a "L" shaped piece of stainless steel that will bolt to the same bolt that is the battery ground strap bolt. Go to page 4 post #32 of this topic and you'll see the pics I put up of my bracket fastened to the air horn before and after it's mounted to the bike. Larry

    Hi everyone. Got another update addded to page #1 of this post plus in the classified ads. What it is about is for those of you who have a Larin jack for lifting the bike. Those jacks have shorter lift arm pads than others do, so they're about 1/2" shorter than the adapters width in fact. Thus it's much harder to get that jack centered as it should be. And then there's the possiblity of the bike slipping off. So what I've done is come up with a modification that'll allow you to still use the Larin jack and center the lift arms each & every time. Bottom line is if you have a Larin jack and want to buy one of my adapters I'll add the modification to the adapter at no extra cost for you. I need to know this when you order an adapter thou. Thanks in advance, Larry

    Ok folks I'm going to offer mounting brackets for these air horns to be mounted where the right side stock horn currently sits. I should know in a day or two how much they'll cost you all. They'll be made of stainless steel and polished. I'll post back here with pics and details later. look for my ad in the classified as well once I get this off the ground. Larry

    My bag rails are uneven as well so looks like another repair mod to do when I get a chance. Larry
  24. Carbon_One
    Good idea on saving that back cover. Like you say it's hardly noticable. Larry
  25. Carbon_One
    Boomer I have one made up for you. I'll send it out tomorrow. More info to follow later. Larry
