Do Not Install a Larger Aftermarket Horn in the Stock Location
Unfortunately, I have learned this the hard way. I installed a Stebel Nautilus horn as seen in the picture below.
I even installed it horizontally as to leave some room between the bottom of the horn and the fender.
Last weekend, I ran over a pothole that compressed my front springs hard enough to slam the bottom of the horn down onto the front fender, creating a 3 inch crack in the top of my froint fender. I am either going to have to get the fender repaired or replace it with a carbon fiber one. I am not sure which would be more cost effective yet.
Anyhow, just a word of caution to anyone who wishes to replace the stock horn (in the stock location). A stiffer front shock might have prevented this as well, but I cannot verify that.
If anyone has any experience with having a front fender repaired, please let me know.
