I could not get a sound bomb to fit on my bike ,so unfortunately l had to return the part , but the upside was Nippy’s return policy was brilliant.

Good product but could be improved Steve Todd on Aug 30, 2023

Whilst I understand the reason why the item is so expensive for what it is, the kit could include a length of heat-shrink sleeving at no extra cost. As for the product itself, it makes powering an aftermarket horn fitted elsewhere very simple, so I do recommend it.

Very expensive for two wires with a plug on the end! NIPPY NORMANS SAYS Andrew - we know it is expensive but there is a patent on the plug and therefore no copies are available.

Wanted the Denali one but was out of stock.this one did the trick and of anything worked a little better as its a bit longer. These two are you're only options if you want to keep the original wiring intact. Liked the fact the wires had little numbers so you could note which wire was which. Yellow wire hidden by black insulating tape after fitting.

I replaced the existing horn with a Stebel Nautilus and got this lead to save tapping into the existing horn wire. Expensive for what it is but it does the job very neatly W/o Would have been 5 stars but for the price.

OK, it's an expensive bit of wire with a few spade connectors included...but it does make fitting the new horn using the original wiring and connector very easy. Not sure why the wire has to be yellow though!

A lot louder than the original feeble item - which is the whole point. Tricky to fit - required workshop assistance. Great when it works, but only lasts 12-18 months before weather kills it. But reasonably priced, so I am on my third one. Would be happy to pay more if it lasted longer.

Exactly what I needed. Pricey however especially with postage to US. But worth it to change out the bicycle horn on the F800gt.

Like other people who bought this wiring kit it is very expensive for a piece of wire and a plug but just try doing the job without it. The bikes loom is so short there is not enough wire to work with. As it was in did the job in 10 minutes no fuss and did not have to dismantle any part of the bike.

Great bit of kit, used it to do a proper install of the twin horns. The only thing missing was an inline fuse, which the horn wiring diagram recommended. But used one from an old charger cable and worked fine. Would be good to see that included with this kit for future customers!

Enough wire to comfortably reach to where I had mounted the first horn just below/behind the oil cooler to the crash bar cross bar, where there is a handle bolthole. Wired into a crimped spade connector along with another wire on to the second horn mounted on the left of and under the beak on a trim bracket.

A very useful item, which does exactly what it is designed to do. However at this price colour of the wire and connector really should be black! If you want a neat installation covering the bright yellow wire with heat shrink along the whole length is highly recommend.

Plug and play; works perfectly with a replacement Hella low tone horn. Wire is long enough to allow for easy relocation of the stock horn, which I had to do as replacement Hella horn was too large to fit in same place as original horn. No instructions however, so be sure to put the connection cover and then the shrink wrap on the wires before crimping on the connections.

Easily fitted but should warn you that if you run the Nautilius horn, for example, you will need extra connectors to connect the relay. Otherwise, this was very handy for the fitting of the horn to the std wiring loom.
