Stebel is Back in Business

Post by ericalm »

Hey, all you people who want a quality, loud as heck air horn! Italian horn maker Stebel is apparently out of bankruptcy and producing again. I don't know the story, but their products (which were stock in some Buddy models) had become hard to find and quite expensive.

I know other companies make air horns, but I've always liked these for their quality. I've been sitting in a Compact Nautilus for a year, unsure of which scoot to put it on. Glad I know I'll be able to get another for less than $90!

Thats funny that you have one lying around ericalm. I just gave my "spare" one away last week, I to have been sitting on it for probaly 3 years. Only the size prevented me from using it. Went to a good home.

Archives is correct! I bought it back in 2010 to install in my 07 Buddy, and just never got around to it. Forgot I had it until we were doing a inventory in the garage and stumbled across the box. The guy who bought the 07 Buddy just happened to have the stock horn go bad, so I offered up the Stebel since thats what I bought it for originally. Here is the weird thing, we didnt install the supplied relay!? Just plugged it in and zip-tied the horn in place. He LOVES the Stebel horn (it is LOUD) and so far no problems running it without the relay.Does seem to be a VERY slight delay when you can barely hear the compessor "click" before the horn blast. May install the relay anyways, just to see if the delay goe away.
