Yepper, the Mrs. got me Valk stuff for my birthday! New Kury Hiway pegs, a Stebel Nautilus Compact Chrome, and the plug-n-play wiring harness that goes with it.
Now, I was thinking of mounting the horn underneath, but sure seems like a waste of shiny chrome. For those with the Stebel/Wolo setup, where do you have yours mounted? Pics would be helpful if you got 'em. I DO have Bakers but that's about the only thing that would be in the way.

Just got around to installing mine last night, finally. I cut a piece of aluminum bar (3/4" x 2 1/2") and drilled two 5/16" holes 1 3/8" apart. Mounted the horn to this, and then to the rear-upper bolt by the ignition switch (didn't get pics yet). Kinda goes in at a bit of an angle to clear the side cover, and acts like a filler behind the ignition. And my other half doesn't like me anymore, cause I tested it while she was sitting there relaxing after work  Mike |

I was going to mount mine where the oem horn was, but when I got it my "chrome" looked more like silver spray paint. So, I put it underneath. BTW, my better half didn't like me either when, at her request, I demonstrated my new horn in the garage.   |

If mine had looked as good as BonS's, I probably would followed my original plan. As it is now, I do have to loosen one nut, pull two wires, and remove the horn from the bracket to use the lift adapter, but that only takes a few seconds. If memory serves, STEELERS posted a pic about a year ago of the one-piece bracket he made for his. You might find a picture of it with a "stebel horn" tech board search. Please post a pic of your finished project.

Here is what/where I mounted my chrome Stebel,,, I wired my relay to be triggered by the original horn wiring and left the original horn in place and functional. So if I just lightly bump the horn button then I only get a chirp out of the stock horn if I hold the button for a bit longer then the stebel comes alive. I mounted this way since I also installed a 12v cigarette lighter under there next to the Fuel shut off switch. This picture was taken just before I reinstalled the Fuel switch.  |

If you're interested in the chrome Stebel then check out the Wolo horn as well. The chrome isn't beautiful on the Wolo but the horn is completely covered in chrome. Same price; Same setup; Same volume. click here. |

Here is another option: the aerostich ear cannon air horn. It's the same thing as the stebel and wolo, too. Looks to be a bit cheaper, but isn't drenched in chrome like the wolo. http://www.aerostich.com/ear-cannon-air-horn.html |

I mounted my Nautalis inside one of my pods. Totally invisible, still loud.

If you can't fix it, at least break it trying.
