Going to replace the STOCK horn.

Suggestions for either the Fiamm High or Low Tone?

I installed this http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/denali-soundbom b-split-dual-tone-air-horn on my Uly- took some doing behind the wind screen. This kit may be easier on a tuber as there is room for both. It is LOUD as hell, worth extra effort and money. I bought the harness- it made the install easy. Highly recommend. This will give you both Hi and Low...

Have you thought about an XB or Blast! horn?

Might want to read these comparisons, here's one link, but there's another one on the same site:

The Fiamm low tone works well by itself, but it sounds just like a 1960's pickup truck (I have one on my Uly). It's a cheap, bolt-in swap; no added relay necessary.

I realize the Stebel Nautilus didn't win any awards in the above noted comparison and I've not put one on the S3T but I have used them on a variety of other bikes. They also offer a wiring kit if you are in need of it.

I've seen this in a variety of shops as well as online via Amazon.com

Hope this helps,
Don

My '91 RS1200 was delivered with the usual tiny round disc-type horns. I never examined them closely for a part number, but I suspect they were OEM Yamaha horns, as Buell used Yamaha turn signals then (that I was able to verify).
Over many years I have tried/used all the horns mentioned above. I wanted "loud", and the horn I liked the best was an OEM Cadillac from the 50s-60s. It sounded like a very large car, which delivered proper respect...
But for the Buell I wanted something that looked OEM so I installed Volkswagen Beetle horns which are cheap and readily available on ebay:
