About this deal
The Denali™ SoundBomb was designed for those who want to be heard, but still want to maintain a stylish look. 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.
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! Fitment Note: Add our BMW wiring adapter DNL.WHS.10100 below for a plug & play installation to BMW motorcycles. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the Soundbomb is made by Stebel or by ex-Stebel designers.
Step 2: Remove the Stock Horn
Designed to be a direct Plug & Play upgrade from your factory horn, requiring no additional relay or wiring harness.

I have owned this Denali horn, installed on an Aprilia 850 V-twin, for about a year now.
Fitment Note: Add our BMW wiring adapter ( DNL.WHS.10100) for plug & play installation to BMW motorcycles. 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. The horn won’t fit behind the exhaust and you don’t want to get these plastic horns near the exhaust anyway (as we learned to our chagrin).

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. Motorcycle manufacturers should definitely be doing better, or they should at least sell an accessory horn that has some guts. The Denali Soundbomb horn was made for Twisted Throttle as a replacement for the Stebel Nautilus Compact. Without getting into too much detail, we were told that TT needed to find a replacement for the Nautilus, for several reasons. 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.
