I can tell you from experience that this install is very hard..had mine done by petes pitstop on my 09 gen 2 and pete had a hard time to keep in the fairing work.
He had to shave around a third off the horn and even then it was a nightmare.
The only other option is to put it in the tail or external on the bike thus losing Db's or run the risk of damaging the horn or bike if external.
My install is great but only because pete was so thorough.

What do you mean, exactly? Which part of the Stebel Nautilus Compact can be "shaved" without wrecking the horn?
Does the Gen II motor (I've never looked at one close up) not have the same series of tapped/threaded holes at the back of the throttle bodies as shown in the pics in the link I posted?
"casting dispersions on others credability." And their illiteracy.

Found this in my quest for knowledge:
"Per the manufacturer, this horn should be mounted so that the cylinder is vertical (with the horn facing down). There should be no more than a 15 degree variance from the vertical position. If it is not mounted per these specifications, then the horn may cease to function after a period of time."
and this (From Rainbows sight)
Isn't it Ironic that my Favourite Stretch of Tarmac is called C.O.P.
After I gave mine away, (to a bloke with a Honda), seen one fitted to a Ducati with the horn mounted on the bottom right hand side of the bottom right hand front fork and the compressor mounted inside fairing with compressed air supply tube running down the side of fork (wind bucket).
You'll find a $35 duel electric at Autopro or Supacheap, comes with a relay to run wires to horn switch wires. 6 - 8" x 2mm x 1/2" aluminium flat bar n 3 x 3/16" holes with centre hole bolted onto stock horn stud n bob's your uncle. Throw the stock RTA Approved Horn in the shitter cause they're useless.

In your case only send me a cheque and I'll tell you

The negatives of mounting horn here are apart from burying the horn in a hole and in effect muffling it which defeats the purpose of fitting. In this position given the heat it would be exposed to along with the plastic content of the horn one wouldn't expect it's lifespan to be long at all.
Well, my horn has been mounted where it is for a considerable time now and has not incurred any damage. It is also very loud, as several members of this club can attest to.
It's nice to see that you retain your ability to turn genuine inquiry into petty squabbling, Pete.

This coming from someone that still maintains the signature

I find amusing indeed.
As for petty squabbling ................. try not disputing every post I place and in the words of Gomer Pyle "surprise surprise" it may just cease.
Tell you what if you know half as much about your own job as you believe you do about mine then you must be a fuckin marvel at it.
Quoting yourself here I'd say you must own an Alsatian do you ?

Seems the most logical place to fit it for best DB's
