Trying to fit a Denali Sound bomb Compact

Post by SteveH »

Hi all, has anyone ever successfully fitted one of these ?

I have a rt1250 le 2020, brought the soundbomb & the required bracket from a well know company & I'm having no luck at all fitting it.

I'd really welcome some help, pictures of one fitted I've been at it for a good couple of hours with no luck.

If its anything like the 1200(can't be that different) It fits where the original horn is.Take oem horn off and put the bracket in its place.Or it is different and I'm talking bollox.

If you mean the Mini Sound Bomb, yes I've fitted one my '18 RT1250RT. It's fitted behind the fairing, in front of the headstock and between the forks using a straight bracket about 3" long. It's a tight fit and a sod to get to the nuts to tighten them if you've got big hand, but it can be done and doesn't touch the forks in full lock, just.

If that's where/how you're thinking of fitting yours, not problems to try and take some photos, but it's not the easiest of place to poke a phone into.

Great guys thank you for your replies yes it's a very difficult fit indeed.
Great video link which has been a great guide, it's not fitted in the oringal place, in the video he uses one of the pair of longer Torx bolts further back on the frame.
That's today's mission for me then
Thanks again I'll report back to let you know.
