About this deal

The mounting problem is even more complicated because there’s just a single bolt location on the horn body that can be used for mounting. This is a cast metal cutout that fits the 8 mm hex head bolt that comes with the kit.

The hardest part of dealing with the Nautilus or Soundbomb is mounting it on the motorcycle. These are big horns and most motorcycles have very limited spaces underneath the fairing or around the engine for mounting such a monster. The clamp is said to be more resistant to vibrations, which helps to improve overall reliability of the horn. I have Clearwater Glenda lights (review) on my bike, and with a little wiring, soldering, and Clearwater’s instructions, the Glendas go to maximum power if the horn is hit. A nice feature which is standard on the larger Clearwater lights, but not the Glendas. 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. A motorcycle horn is not just a federally mandated accessory or a nice-to-have. And a horn loud enough to get the attention of errant and careless drivers is not just a luxury. For daily riders, touring fans, and city commuters, an attention-getting horn is much, much more—it’s a necessity.

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. The Denali™ SoundBomb was designed for those who want to be heard, but still want to maintain a stylish look.

It is recommended to not over tighten the bolt on the rear of the SoundBomb Mini. The horn should be secure, but should give way if rotated with pressure. Tighten the M6 nut to no more than 6.5 ft.-lbs. If the horn is too tight, it might not sound correctly. The two of us spent quite a bit of time trying to find a good location to mount the Soundbomb horn on the BMW F 800 S. We tried to mount the horn behind the fairing and also in front of the exhaust pipes, on the side of the engine and even towards the rear, but nothing worked. The first replacement part on any bike I own is the horn. And I always install an air horn. I have owned this Denali horn, installed on an Aprilia 850 V-twin, for about a year now. As you can see from the photos below, the new mounting position puts the horn in the correct orientation and actually works better than the original mounting, because the wires can be semi-hidden behind the horn body.]

Step 2: Remove the Stock Horn 

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.

Twisted Throttle said the horn was designed to be more reliable than the Stebel version, while still providing a loud air horn sound. The Soundbomb (probably not the best name for a product here in our crazy 21st Century) looks nearly identical to the Nautilus Compact.There’s nothing like going through all the trouble of mounting a big Nautilus — no easy task — and having it fail before you get the bike out of the garage. Oh well… So we cut a longer (18 cm) length of aluminum, drilled the two holes as noted below and re-installed the horn, this time in the correct orientation. When I opened up the fairing, I saw that the tech connected the horn directly to the OEM horn wiring. When I installed the wiring kit, voila! It worked like a charm. So much for professional installation! Producing a massive 113 decibels of sound, the SoundBomb can be over twice as loud as a standard motorcycle horn!
