The Denali Sound Bomb horn is a rebranded Wolo Big Boy horn which has been around for years. Check it out, same specs, sound and looks, but at a higher price.
Hey guys, my wife has a scary bad habit of just getting off the throttle without any other indicator to others that she's slowing down. It's not usually a big deal because I shadow her but as she's riding more on her own it's something that she needs to work on.
I've seen a plugin module that senses the deceleration and flashes your brake lights a couple of times and I'd like to get on for her bike, but I can't find it now that I'm looking. Anyone use one of those things and can tell me a good brand to go and look at?
Thanks
I think she is better off taking an advanced motorcycle riding class. I think the Police offers a nice course; I think. But learning advanced riding methods help kill such habits. Better than enabling a habit. When I was in the Navy I took the Advanced Riders course 2 times, since it was a requirement, but those courses are super excellent! Would recommend such courses for even experienced riders.

She has been through the basic, intermediate, and advanced MSF courses and is a skilled rider. She doesn't have time to ride very often, so other skills are at the top of mind when she's in the saddle, and my prodding her about throttle off deceleration is going to make things worse. As we ride more often, we'll work on it, but until then this will be an excellent aid.
My ST2 arrived on Monday. My service manual is out in the garage, but I thought that they had a wiring diagram for Harley. I know which three wires are used, just won't know colors until I lift my seat.
When installing there's an arrow on top, this points to the front of the bike. Unit needs to be installed level. They do include a couple of wire ties, but i think that velcro would be better.
If you want your brake light to flash, turn it over. To decrease sensitivity, tilt the back a little towards the ground, to increase sensitivity tilt the front towards the ground.
I'll probably install it in the next couple of days.

What kind of bike are you installing it on? Can you let me know what wires you tap?
18' Fatboy, if u go to Custom Dynamics website, the instructions for the LED run/brake light bar or LED run/turn/brake light bar will have the info in their installation guide that u can download. Otherwise, I'll snap a picture when I go to do mine.
Great thread. I’m going to grab the Hexin due to the expansions I can add. Like a cell phone charger and auxiliary lights. On the wife’s Freewheeler.
I drive a 2021 Peterbilt 567 and when I get off the throttle (engine brake on) it activates my brake lights. Not a fan of that but I get why it’s done. Many drivers aren’t aware that it’s not me riding my brakes and they feel the need to jump on the CB and tell me how to drive. Lol. Which hey. I appreciate any heads up when on the road.
Here's the diagram from the Custom Dynamics run/brake led light bar. Hope that this helps.
Thanks brother

Interesting about the Peterbilt, I never knew that. Makes sense though, people are so ****ing self-absorbed and distracted today that we need to invent new ways to be safe.
Installed my ST2 today, started the bike and while still sitting on the kickstand, the brake light flashes. Went for a ride as it was getting dark and my brake light flashes constantly. But it's not a consistent flash like 1,2, flash 1,2, flash.
It was like 1,2,3 flash flash, 1,2 flash flash flash, kind of jumping all over the place. Didn't matter whether I was accelerating or not. I'll look at it again on Saturday. Maybe try tilting it back so that it's less sensitive.
