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.
Got the horn.

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