You peaked my curiosity so I dummed up the Stebel Nautiluses to the stock harness and the Relay harness. BAM! Those are loud! Very stately, almost yachtlike low tone. I've always heard that dinosaurs communicated over long distances with a low tone. Dummied up the minis as well. They are very shrill, like a scooter horn on steroids. Not very pleasant. My ears rang for several minutes afterwards. So they'll do the job. There just isn't enough open room for the Nautiluses esp with my steering damper on the rt side.
It took a little head scratching to get the relay harness to work. Hooked it up but it would only click. After about 45 minutes of this and that, Bruce looked at the fuse holder, which had the cap left off, and said, is something supposed to be in there? Oops my bad. When I opened the package a few weeks ago, I noticed the fuse wasn't in, and a couple of spade fuses dropped out on the workbench. I said to myself, hmmm I'll have to remember to put the fuse in... Oh well it helps to have extra eyes.
In a closed space like that its hard to tell the difference the relay makes. No relay was loud, as i think both the stebels and the minis are louder than OEM. With the relay it was deafening. Probably more discernible in the open air. Anyways, minis under the Hlight clamps in the decision.
Next to the sidestand. Here's the selection all together. Soupy made me two legs for the lower part of the adjustable:
Using the long one set at the shortest setting gave an optimal lean. That's with the longer shocks, though still a /70-17 rear tire.
We made some "accessory posts" for the battery. Cut the head of of a 6mm bolt about 10mm longer than stock. Threaded it into the terminal nut, then tightened down the first nut onto the harness cable/ground cable. Then put the accessory cords (heated vest and horn relay, both of which are fused) onto the stud left above the nut, and tightened them down. That way I can futz with the accessories without messing with the main connection. An old trick.
