Got the horn.

Post by firebob22 »

Hi all, hope you're all ok & getting prepped for winter. Here's a question to wrack your grey cells over. Bought a Denali soundbomb horn for Tina's XVS650, old one's ok but a bit old & original. Put Denali on, got a Bk Bk noise when horn button pressed. Thought, busted Denali, but when i connected it straight to the battery, it nearly deafened me so working well.
Now i changed the original horn on my XVS1100 for the same Denali & it works great which is why i bought one for Tina's.
I then plugged in Tina's Denali on to my trike & it works so i thought i'd reconnect her old horn onto her trike & it works so i don't know what the ferks going on. Both trikes have got fundamentally the same wiring looms & batteries so i'm at a loss as to why the new Denali doesn't work on Tina's trike. Any ideas, comments, solutions etc., would be appreciated. Over to you guys. Cheers, Bob. :bang:

I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Eggszackerly what I was thinking - some horns do pull stupid amounts of current that std. wiring can't handle.

Take it easy, Bob.
