Denali SoundBomb™ Mini Electromagnetic Low Tone Horn 113dB Motorcycle Horn

Product Information

But, we had to come up with our own custom mount for a BMW F 800 S, just to show it can be done with some ingenuity. Fitment Note: Add our BMW wiring adapter ( DNL.WHS.10100) for plug & play installation to BMW motorcycles. UPDATE (August 2015): We initially mounted the horn shown in the photo at the beginning of this review and with the aluminum bar oriented as shown in the photos above. But, using the Extech dB meter, we measured 118 dB at three feet for the Soundbomb, a good showing. We wanted to locate the horn far enough away from the exhaust but as close as possible to the engine. This wouldn’t work on the right side of the F 800 S, due to the exhaust location.

Securely attach the SoundBomb Mini to the chosen location on your motorcycle. Ensure that it is positioned in a way that maximizes sound projection while avoiding any interference with other components and potential direct spray from road spray. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the Soundbomb is made by Stebel or by ex-Stebel designers.If they did, we guarantee that just about every owner would go for the option, adding to manufacturers’ and retailers’ profits. Currently, the manufacturers are leaving money on the table.

All of the Nautilus horns were mounted using a high-quality relay harness and each horn failed almost immediately. You can hear the sound of a dead Nautilus in the linked .mp3 sound file library below. Although the Soundbomb looks very similar to the Nautilus, the construction appears to have more plastic than the Nautilus. But, so far it has proven to be much more reliable than the Nautilus in our experience. In other words, it works. One main difference is that the compressor on the Soundbomb is attached with a clamp with two bolts. On the Nautilus, the horn or trumpet section appears to be glued to the compressor. The Soundbomb horn used in this review is the single unit version. There’s also a version with a separate compressor canister that can be remotely mounted. Twisted Throttle said the horn was designed to be more reliable than the Stebel version, while still providing a loud air horn sound.

Step 5: Test the Horn

That resemblance also means that this is a very large horn. It can be very difficult to fit on some/many motorcycles.
