I am getting ready to install a stebel horn based on the threads on the board. My question is. When I unhook the battery terminal to hook up the horn lead, does the interruption in power do any bad stuff to the ecm or any other electrical goodies on the bike.

It will only loose your time on the clock and your trip sets.

What he said.
You're really going to like that horn! It has the ability to wake even the most oblivious morons.

Why are you disconnecting the battery? As long as the ignition switch is off, you've got no power going to the horn anyway. Am I missing something?

I never disconnect the power when I do these things.

98 times out of 100, it is no problem.

1 times out of 100 you weld a box end wrench between the rear rocker box and your battery on a 2000 M2.

1 times out of 100 you almost weld a wrench to something (still don't know what) that is near your alternator and the frame on a 2001 Saab 9-3 SE.

DAMHIK! : )

I never do either.

1 in 1,000,000 you have a wrench in hand and it's touching your wedding ring,,,,,,wedding subsequently touches some other metal object. Ring finger ends up with a perfect circle of blister.

I am disconnecting the battery because I have a power lead that is supposed to go to the battery
