I had a Vespa 250 that I installed a stebel nautilus compact air horn on. I was getting no respect with the standard horn. I sold the Vespa but I’ve still got the horn. You’ve encouraged me to fit it to one of my steeds.

@TEB64 5 лет назад

As usual a great job. After watching a number of your videos I decided to go from an RT to a 2019 R1250GS and after there weeks I am glad I made the change.

@paulwyand6204 6 лет назад

Crimp connectors with built in adhesive heat shrink would be best for this application(both ends), especially if you plan on ever taking it off road and easier yet. Good ratchet crimpers will do a much more reliable connection than a solder joint, as they tend in vibration to cause a hard spot for the wire to anneal against and fracture. Great adhesive heat shrink crimp connectors are available at marine suppliers. That is why aerospace almost exclusively uses crimp connectors.

just a tip when using them unprotected connectors up front like that run the heat shrink over the spade end ..leaving the gap for the connection of coarse lol because no matter how well protected it might be the weather will find away....I love all the gadgets on the bike .one can never have to many toys well done mate

@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse 6 лет назад

Yes a good upgrade on the bike, I have installed one too as you can never be loud enough with a horn. An alternative if you dont have a soldering iron is soldered crimps they are basically solder joints and heat shrink all in one and just need heating with a match to join cabling. Id also suggest similar installs are done with a sleeve over the cabling for additional protection from damage and ease of clipping in place either heat shrink, spiral wrap or Braided Expandable sleeving.

Hi TMF, I’ve just fitted a Sound Bomb to my R1250GS and I’m concerned about how it interferes with the front brake hose and ABS cable. The same interference can be seen on your video at 7.33. Have you had any issues with it or seen any sign of damage to the brake hose, etc?

@mrbigstuff6149 6 лет назад

Is there one that sounds like a deltic napier train's horn? coz that would really give me the horn.

@garya3056 6 лет назад

Superb installation, TMF. I think my OCD alarm went off when you stripped the wires and didn’t chase down the bits! 😉 A good loud horn, some bright lights and a healthy exhaust note all add up to a bit more safety for us all. I’ve actually been thinking of adding a truck/lorry-style air horn to my HD Fatboy. 🏍👍🏍

@rogerreading3708 6 лет назад

What a great piece of kit that EZCan is, I wish they did it for the Honda NC750x. The soundbomb is good I have one fitted to my bike, and in most part it parted the ways so to speak through a long traffic queue at the dreaded Dartford Tunnel today. I purchased a Dinali power hub for my accessories, and fitted the bomb through that device. A word of warning though, even though the hub is supposed to handle 30amps I think the bomb at 25amps has blown the relay. On its way back to the suppliers as we speak. Brilliant, concise video, well filmed as usual my flyer.

@Harleyguy03 4 года назад

I've been looking to get a louder horn since I heard the pathetic beep beep on my 2019 1250GS. Settled on the Denali cansmart setup and the Sound Bomb. I Watched quite a few videos on the sound bomb and you have one of the best videos on the installation and setup of this horn. I saw you cringe when you demoed the horn but the video (no video) couldn't depict how loud this horn really is. 𝙃𝙊𝙇𝙔 𝙈𝙊𝙇𝙔!! This thing is 𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗗!!! I was blown away, as soon as my ears quit ringing I finished the installation. Just what I was looking for, a horn that is so loud that people will react as soon as they hear it. The previous three bikes I had I installed "fiam" car horns and they were good but no where near as loud as the Sound Bomb. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙨!......now to work on the lights.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Nice one John....

@roadrash76 4 года назад

Thank you for the video. Is there enough clearance between the bottom of the Denali and the suspension wishbone? I'm concerned that during hard off road riding, the suspension can compress to the point where the horn is smashed by the suspension up travel. I do alot of off road riding with my 18 GS. Thanks

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

There is - just - it is tight though and took few attempts to get right.....

@roadrash76 4 года назад

@scottmclennan6114 6 лет назад

I noticed that you could turn the handlebars and the horn cleared the fork legs on either side, but what about if you bottom out the front end? It looked like the bottom of the horn might contact that cross-brace between the forks.

Nope - the bracket is specifically designed for the GS and there is no impact on fork travel (don't forget the telelever front end doesn't tend to dive like conventional forks).....

@wiseone2057 6 лет назад

Another good video, it is one of the few things that I’m disappointed with on my GS, especially after having a K100 and K1100, which sounded like they may of come from BMWs car industry, this one sounds more like from my old moped. A question I’ve been meaning to ask is how have you found the new hand guards, do you adjust them at all , and if so does it make a difference.Thanks.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Yes loving them, and yes I have put them in the summer position now - other than sleeker looks can’t say I e noticed a difference...

@TRUTHbTOLDi 5 лет назад

TMF, do you happen to know if it is possible to wire up some front and rear dash cams with the Hex EZcan? I'm trying to avoid splicing into the BMW's original wiring if possible? Thanks, loving the videos, keep it up :)

@fiveowaf454 5 лет назад

The stock horn sounds like it belongs on a 49cc moped from the 70's, it's rather embarrassing to even use it. I saw a friend in the next lane at a stoplight the other day and honked to get their attention forgetting how pathetic the horn sounded, any thoughts of how cool I looked an my GS Rallye immediately evaporated. The sound bomb seems a little OTT, is there not something that's a straight swap for the OEM unit?

@DarrenStarr 4 года назад

How did you make those light flash with the horn? That must be great for letting people know you are there with audible AND visual alerts.

@troglodyte1407 6 лет назад

I bought one of these last week for my XSR900 and have sent it back to exhange for the 2 piece because I had practically nowhere to mount it cos it's a big old chunk of horn. So if anyone has the xsr900 get the 2 piece where the compressor is separate so you can mount the compressor under the seat or somewhere in the body work.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

It’s a Wunderlich heated seat - great for the heat, not so great on comfort on long journeys... Did you just disconnect the OEM horn when you connected up the Sound bomb?

@SteenJeberg 6 лет назад

No I didn't disconnected the OEM horn I can't hear it but I think both horns sounds now.. Thanks for your set reply. Maybe you should do a video one day comparing all the different seats you can buy for the 1200GS. I wish for a seat with better comfort for longer trips than the OEM seat. and thanks for your good and informative videos.

@leesmith2005 6 лет назад

Nice install TMF, it looked like you only heat shrunk the cable on the spade connector on the horn, might have been better to heat shrink the entire connector to protect from any issues if the + terminal came off and touched the frame. Just a thought!

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Yes good tip!

@adamludlam5538 6 лет назад

I have the same. Bought the one peice but couldn't mount it anywhere suitable so I sent it back and got the 2 peice one.

@gordonrowe1905 6 лет назад

The only downside of using Hex EZ Can for horn is that it robs one of the high current circuits which could be used for the Aux lights. if you use one high current circuit for each aux light (Right and Left), you can have a dimming of that light in favour of the indicator when you make a turn signal, making the flashing indicator easier to see with no aux light on that side of the bike. Swings and roundabouts really, a bit harder to fit and wire with the relay, but what a HORN toot-toot (or rather BLAST-BLAST). I also kept the stock horn wired and spliced the relay signal cable to have both operate on the horn button.

This video and all others on the internet do not do it ANY justice, you have to hear to believe in terms of just how loud it is.

Most horns on bikes are the cheap version. Considering how much we pay for these bikes you would think they would upgrade the horn. One of the first things i do on a new bike is change the horn. My RT has the one you now have. Love the look i get from car drivers when its used.

How about fork travel?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Not an issue on the Telever front forks of the BMW....

@MrBodyforma 6 лет назад

Hasn't the positioning severely reduced your front suspension travel?

@samsara3694 6 лет назад

GS has telelever suspension - you don't get the travel of normal forks.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

What Samsara said (no issue)

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

:0) Yes these a re a pretty good (and cheapish) upgrade....recommended!

@genuinecomments4008 5 лет назад

Agree it would have been good to hear them separately. Together it sounded odd.

Thanks for another great vid. I went for the GS in the end and your install videos are going to cost me loads more money ;) Notice you still have the Wunderlich seats on and it's summer - did the comfort improve?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

'fraid not - seat is great in winter for the heating function, but to me, the OEM comfort seat is better on long tours....

@dariuspoli 6 лет назад

Thanks - think I'll stick with a cold bum then!

@JLOSTAFF1 6 лет назад

Awesome - got one fitted to my Monster. Still no 800 XRT review though? Cheers for now, Jon.

It’s coming!

@palantir135 6 лет назад

Did you notice that your extra side lights went out when the pressed the horn. Maybe because the engine wasn't running. But now there's a power issue.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

No that’s a feature I’ve programmed in, the aux lights strobe when I press the horn..

@jamesgoodwin2450 6 лет назад

I was a little disappointed that it didn’t play the dukes of hazard tune hahahahaha

Now you've got me thinking.....

@MrJpb2000 6 лет назад

james goodwin funny thing is I was thinking the exact same! 🤣

@tommyrobinson8316 6 лет назад

james - if someone makes a horn that shouts out ‘F**K Y*U’ then I’ll buy it. Imagine the look on the offending motorist’ face….

@ewoutgsa 6 лет назад

The BMW horn seems the louder of the two!?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

I don’t think it is - just more shrill

@drumdave5495 6 лет назад

Need this for my Africa twin, the standard horn is embarrassing for such a big bike

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Most bikes seem to suffer from poor OEM horns....

@jon98tj 6 лет назад

I put a regular truck horn on my Africa Twin from a Toyota Tundra. Original wires and original location. Sounds incredible and very cheap from a breakers yard/junk yard.

@ijaxon6675 Год назад

Here's the problem. You might want to check your settings. Denali rates the horn at 20amps. The EZcan instructions say determine amps by Watts/12 = amps plus 30% over, so that would be at least 25 amps. You'd need to determine the total power of your lights and add that. My light are 20W total (1.6 amp) so I need to add that which I made 2 amps. You can see just these two device alone are getting mighty close to that 30 limit. Don't make the mistake of just adding things and selecting an icon for what it is. Hex recommends the total for all circuits not to exceed 30 amps. Do not use the default values per device, it's just a basic setting.Do the calculation watts divided by Volts to get Amps and set each channel 30% over to be safe.

Great production Good to see a you tuber who can solder 14 gauge wire, haven't heard imperial wire measurements for years, what's that in new money about 1.5 mm ?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Yeah, it's well over the top but the horn can draw 25amps peak....

@ticthedog9413 6 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer I wasn't questioning your wire size as 1.5mm is just about perfect for a air compressor with a 25 amp draw Just that you can solder and your using Imperial wire sizes, were you involved in automotive electrics in a previous life?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

No but I did do a degree in electronic engineering....

@ticthedog9413 6 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer What a great degree, hence you confidence around can bus and other electrical systems Have you ever thought about doing reviews on secondhand bikes as the market is becoming flooded with 3 year old bikes that are coming off pcp deals and they represent great value if you don't want the latest gizmos.

@mikeskidmore6754 3 года назад

I don't own a BMW and anyone can hook up a non Canbus Horn I just wanted to hear the air Horn .. @ 14:00 all I can hear is the stock Electric Horn

@markmundy3435 6 лет назад

There is no such thing as a horn that's to loud on a bike that's for sure. But I have to say, it looks like the horn is pulling almost as much current as the EZcan has to offer, with the extra aux lights (which I think would draw very little being LED) dimming every time you hit the horn would bug me, especially at night. Maybe with the engine running this might not happen, but for me, it gives a very heath robinson look to the install. I'd be looking at using the EZcan to feed a relay which in turn would take a feed directly off the battery.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

The auxiliary lights are programmed to strobe when I press the horn.....

I am Morten, my denali mini get more atension than denali screamer, becouse they think its a big trailer coming.

@HJC1950 6 лет назад

I also had a Denali Soundbomb Mini horn installed on my 2015 R1200GS. I had it done at the 2017 BMW Rally in Salt Lake City, Utah. They had various horns on display that one could try. The Soundbomb Mini seemed plenty loud to me, and still does installed on my bike. A concern I had was that if a horn was extremely loud, I might be shy about using it.
