Bloody horn.

The guys on the Vstar forum wanted a look once I had it mounted..

Currently it's mounted on the floor along with all the tools and shit I had with me all day.

I spent about 4 hours mucking around mounting it, had it looking all schmick, finished up the wiring, gave it a test burst, and it was crap.

I dunno what the problem is, I suspect it's because I had the unit mounted on it's side, with the horns facing forwards, but on the box it shows a mounting diagram, and the unit can't be more than 25 degrees away from having the horns facing down, and with the cylinder vertical (I had it 90 degrees on both of these).

In true chinglish style, it says "Caution!" but doesn't say of what to be cautious about.

The couple of test runs I did when it first turned up, I had it within the limits of the mounting diagram, and it was f'ing loud. (I assumed this was just to avoid water getting in the horn).

I spent a little while fiddling around trying to work out how to mount it so it's got the right orientation, but it's a mongrel, I'm going to have to work out how to make a mount for it.

I just found their website, at stebel.it. click on products, then the dirtbike icon, then "nautilus series" to see it.

Well, nearly 2 years later, I mounted it. I found a bracket on the frame that wasn't used, drilled the thread out, and bolted it to that.

And the reason it was crap, wouldn't blast properly.. I was connecting it backwards, and it's polarised. (Hangs head in shame).
