KTM 990 SMT horn replaced by Stebel Nautilus Compact

The standard horn of the KTM 990 SMT is way too soft. In the busy traffic these days you need to get attention of the (auto) drivers quick and direct in case of emergency. I replaced mine with a Stebel Nautilus Compact. Weatherproof and makes a wopping 130 dB. Ideal for motorcyclist who are sick of not being noticed any more.You really need one too. Trust me. You wont regret it.

@FrenkieNL Nice.. i just noticed that the motor is detachable from its horn. How did u connect the tubing to horn's hole?

[FrenkieNL]

@nitrodamuz I used a plastic nozzle from an old tube and a lot of construction kit and made a new connection that way. It holds very good. Remember to use pneumatic hose that will not expand. I found out that non-pneu hose will lose a lot of power to the horn.

How did you connect air tube to body of horn.

[FrenkieNL]

@putbinoot I am quite handy, I manufactered a connecting nipple that fitted very tight in the hole.

This time I detached the horn from the compressor and used a bit of pneumatic tubing to guide the air to the front. This way you can mount the Stebel on bikes where the space is limited.

@FrenkieNL thanks for the explaination. This is an interesting idea. I will try it during my spare time. I appreciate it. :)

Terrific video, like your style! Great ingenuity fitting the air horn to the SMT, too. Like you say, the standard horn is Sooooooooo puny!
