Go with the Stebel Nautilus, you won't believe how loud it is. I bought one for each of my bikes.

Go the stebel, very loud for the size, and easy to mount if you have no airbox (popcorn)

I love the stebel nautilus sound but the reliability is not good, half of the people giving feedbacks claim the stebel is unreliable. web bike world did some tests with different horns and said that premature and unexpected (and sudden) failure is a common problem with the Nautilus horns.

A stebel horn costs 60.00$ in québec canada a lot of money and a lot of time to install something that could brake any time.This is why I tend to buy the supertones. And supertones are louder! Nautilus magnum 81.9 dba supertones 107.7 dba

But I still love the stebel sound! :cray:

Hey Alain,
What type brake fluid are you going to use?

Expensive is a euphemism;

parts; 109.95$
shipping;32.95$
customs;29.90$

But worth every penny!

And for the brake fluid I'm not sure yet John, I've been looking around the website for pros and cons.

I have three days to decide!

The next steps will be the horn, chain and sprockets and if there is any money left, the tires...

They look great! I was being a bit facetious with the brake fluid type because of the other brake fluid thread.
