Fitted the Denali Soundbomb horn. If you NEED to sound your horn, better sound like a truck!!
Also fitted two Denali B6 hi-intensity brake lights to the number plate. Added a strobe unit to the B6's so they strobe and then go solid on braking. Had enough of tailgaters and these brake lights could burn their eyes out!!
Fun & games with the Canbus, got it all working eventually⚡

Less than an hours work.
These horns are a literal lifesaver - Certainly saved me a-few times! There's that car at the junction, you think "will he or won't he?" just as he starts to pull out in front of you a blast on that thing sees him slam on his brakes with a look of terror on his face - Funny to see the look on his face as he sees a motorcycle pass and not a semi:ROFLMAO:
The "compact" (horn & compressor joined together) mounts in place of the original horn with no clearance issues. Take the original horn wiring back to behind the battery cover and connect to a 20 amp relay (strongly recommend a flyback diode), make a fused battery supply, through the relay & back to the horn. No codes or problems other than a whack from the missus when testing it and she jumped out of her skin!!
 
So what is the exact model?

SoundBomb™ Original Dual-Tone Air Horn without cover?​

It’s a 2021 Classic. I did not use the wiring adapter, as the original horn cables needed extending I soldered an additional length of cable on and was able to route it unseen back to the battery compartment.
