There are no doubt other ways to mount your Stebel, but this is how I did it. After much chin rubbing and head scratching I installed mine under the left side front cowling, out of the weather, tucked into the side fairing pocket, secured with a metal strip bent into an “L” shape. It’s a very secure installation, last thing you want is it coming loose and fouling the steering. You can get the fixing strip at most hardware stores, I had two handy pieces in the tool box and bolted them together to get the length I needed, but one single piece is all you need. It’s important to have the unit upright with the connectors facing down, seems if it’s mounted over 15 degrees either side of vertical it wont last more than a couple of months before failing. One end bolted to the unit and the other end bolted onto the convenient hole at the end of the fuel tank. Fastening this end is a bit tricky, but if you slacken the left fairing you can get a long socket extension inside to tighten the nut and it’s a breeze. To get at the stock horn connectors you need to slacken the radiator fixings and swing the radiator forward, I disconnected the two black plastic connectors from the horn and pulled the wires to the left side. The wires will drop down far enough to let you connect the wires that go to the relay (pins 85 & 86). It doesn’t matter which way round you connect these. I used two male spade ends to make the joins. I left the stock horn in place, no point removing it really. I mounted the relay under the seat with another piece of strip and wired it as the pictures show, with a 15 amp in-line fuse to the positive battery terminal. I ignored the tiny diagram that came with the unit and instead used a wiring diagram I found on the internet, it was a lot more straightforward. That’s it…took me a couple of hours, but most of that was head scratching…hope this helps anybody fitting a Stebel.
