Air Horn install (ST1300)

(1/14) > >>

Shiney:
For Christmas I got an Air horn from Gaz 8)



So last Saturday I finally got around to doing the install :grin

1.   Remove seat & right pannier



2.   Remove plastic covering the battery (right side)



3.   Remove the Tupperware from the right side exposing the original horn





4.   Remove the mirror (right side) and the screws holding the front faring on this side



5.   Push apart the black plastic dash and the front faring. This exposes a metal plate with a unused hole



6.   The hole needs to be drilled out a little to fit the screw that holds the new horn (The plastic needs to be held apart while carefully drilling)



                This is where the blot will go after drilling :thumb



7.   Bolt the horn onto the bike using the “new” mounting point :wink1



8.   Plug the original horn wires onto the relay and attach the relay to the bike (I mounted it upside down behind the original horn using it’s mounting bolt)



9.   Attach the earth to the air horn and ground it to the bike and attach the power wire to the relay.



Here are some close up photos of the relay showing where it is mounted and how the wires are attached as described in step 8 & 9.

   
   


10.   Run the power wire back to under the seat





11.   Attach the inline fuse holder and connect to the battery





12.   Connect a power wire from the air horn to the relay and put a fuse in the inline fuse holder



13.   Test the horn (Damn thing is louder then a truck horn) :eek :eek :eek

14.   Replace the front faring screws and the mirror then all the plastic

15.   Go for a ride :runyay

Cheers
