My Friend, thank you so, so, so much, I’m one of the fools that totally dismantled my brand new bike R1250GS Adventure (less than one hundred kms) to route the harness thru the OEM,s cable routing, I did take not only the tank off but also the air box too, I feel so stupid now. I took all apart because I followed the BMW dealer advice to route the harness thru the OEM harness route, now I know they don’t know what they’re talking about. Because the routing I did I had to use a Denali extension because the harness was too short to hook with the D7’s cables, one again I feel so dumb. I’ve waited all summer for your video, and it is the VERY BEST DENALI INSTALL VIDEO. I used to order everything from Twisted throttle because I live in El Salvador, Central America, but from now on I’ll surely will be ordering everything from you, even if that means the shipping will be more expensive from UK to Central America, but your support is worth a million dollars. Cheers Brother, and if you want to come and ride in Central America just send me a message, I’ll lend you a Bike and you come with us. Next summer we are planning a trip from Central America to Alaska (both ways) Cheers my friend, I’ll be waiting for the GS Adventure video before I take everything apart to do it the right way 😜👍😎
Ricardo Moran thank you for you kind words. Well.......I’ve just accepted an installation order on an R1250 GSA today but the customer is flying me out to his home in Thailand to do the install. Flying out this week so that video will be coming soon too. I have a business address in Florida so don’t worry about extra shipping costs. Just contact me when you need something. Thanks again
A BIKE THING awesome that you have a business address in Florida, I need a couple of things from you, what’s your email address? I also need the system you sell for hanging the BMW panniers on the wall, I have such a mess in my garage because I have the panniers of my two GS lying everywhere 😬😬😬
Great video and great mount for the GS. I just finished installing the Denali D4's on my new R1250GS 40th Anniversary. I had my laptop in the garage, using this video step-by-step, and it helped tremendously. Your GS light mount, which I purchased before I found a bike, fit beautifully. That said, I would suggest removing the side panels to gain better access around the tops of the radiators....this opened up a lot of options for routing the individual light wires. Consider another video showing how to remove the factory spot lights and wiring (I had to remove mine and could've used some guidance). Thanks for all.
One of the best install video's on bike equipment i have ever seen. Looking forward to the GSA video. Before i was looking to the Clearwater lights but together with this video the Denali D7 lights are now number one on the future wishes list :-)
Hello Mr. A Bike Thing Thank you very much for making this video, it was very helpful to me as I just installed lights on my 1250GSA. I did not use the Denali lights as you did because I already had Rigid lights from a previous bike. However I did use the Denali bracket in front and your video was instrumental to my successfully installing everything easily. Taking apart the body work and the routing of the wires I followed directly from your video, play/pause and so on. As you said the hardest bolts were the ones halfway along the blue fairings, but per your suggestion apply patience and it was a success. I wanted to sincerely express my gratitude to you, your a real bike guy and you have a friend who owes you a beer in the USA. Best Regards Ronnie Ellis
I’d like to make a suggestion if I could. I think another great feature would be if you could have the front and rear lights continuously strobing at the push of a button. I do some marshaling from time to time for events and charity spins and I think that would be a great way of catching the attention of traffic and to stand out as a marshal. Some friends of mine have dedicated strobe lights fitted for this reason. If you could do that then it would really be, the icing on the cake for that setup! 👌
We need to persuade the top powers at Hex to make that happen. I think it would be abused by some and is probably the reason why it’s not available to us. That said, I think it’s already possible but requires a sequence of button pressing to activate it. I’m trying to get them to spill the beans so I know how to activate these Easter egg modes.
So I bought this, disassembled the bike, and then realized the D4 bundle doesn’t actually work together. I’m fairness, I didn’t ask if it did. I just assumed it would since it was sold as a bundle. If you get the Soundbomb, D4, B6 bundle, there aren’t enough circuits to deal with the amps for the D4 AND the Soundbomb as there are 3 high powered circuits required and only 2 in the EZcan. The Soundbomb is pulling 54 amps too which is a crazy amount. Why sell as a bundle of it doesn’t work together?
That was a good video as I am going to purchase the very items that you showed. Also really like the video you did about how bright these lites are. I do not do a lot of night time riding but these will help plus the idea that you will be better seen during day light riding as well.
Great video. I have a new R 1250 GSA coming in the new year which i will be fitting the same kit too.This video makes it much easier. Also I see you have the same torch as myself,bought it in Homebase 6 years ago for £15.00 still working.
Another very useful vid.👍 if the space I want to thread a wire through is very tight or a bit fiddly I use a long cable tie with the square bit cut off then attached to the wire I'm trying to feed through with some electrical tape, similar to how you attached the cansmartvwires when you were feeding those through.
Great video. Thank you for sharing this content. How can we install the Denali light bar mount and the Loner Rider light guard together? They both use the same hex hole. Thank you
That’s the answer. They both use the same hex hole. Both will fit however lone rider did make a load of their guards for a short period of time using captive nuts which meant the sharing is not possible. Drilling, milling or hacksawing the captive nut out is required. Lone rider have since stopped this captive but nonsense
I have the Wunderlich headlight guard that also uses the same hex-shaped hole for the lower mounting bracket of the headlight guard. It looks like I can use the bar mount threaded bolt and that silly captive nut on the Wunderlich mounting bracket, but I can't seemed to get it to easily thread in without taking the fairing and beak off. I tried for hours yesterday, so I've gone back to your video of "How To Strip Your Beemer. That will be tomorrow's task, so I will update when I can. Thanks for some great video! Now, if only I had a garage and didn't have to work on my bike outside in our Colorado weather!
Hi Steve, your videos are great, thank you. I am looking to fit d7’s on my 2020 1250gs. I do however have Wunderlich upper crash bars installed. Do I use the same bracket and follow your instructions or do I need different bracket with my bats? Thanks
Really enjoyed the video buddy but I have a bit of OCD and I hope you don't mind me commenting about the cable ties...a) for me they should all be the same colour....and b) cut the ties flush with the square head of the strap. You can get a tool which cuts them off nice but you wouldn't get it in the spaces you worked here. Sharp edges of badly cut ties can not only be a hazard for fingers but can also cut other wiring too. Sorry but I use them in my day job and would get shot leaving them not cut properly.
Is hard to find that denali combo here in the USA. It wold be much easier if you can add some more payment options In your website besides PayPal or bank account transfer. Also maybe add the currency change to dollars. Just a suggestion. Great video. 👍
Hey Steve, thanks for the video. I've just bought a R1200GS 2016 Triple Black. I'd like to purchase the light mount for my bike. I'm new to this, but I believe I can do the install with the help of your video. Do you also have the abba skylift? Anyway, keep up the good work, cheers from Chris in Australia.
Hi Steve! Your videos are really awesome!! I actually do an install on an Adventure, so I more follow the Thailand video love Your loose wire points comment :-)). Obviously I'm doing at 20% your pace LOL. But now I came across my first dilemma: when bringing forward the cables below the tank, when I get to the wishbone, I took the cables above one of the water hoses. The reason I did it was because I did not want to touch the mechanical rod which probably sends suspension compression signal to the control unit. Your install has these cables practical touching this rod from the side. So the question is: do You think that these Denali cables sitting on this water hose could rub too much against it, eventually puncturing it? Or should I just apply some grease? I hope I could explain myself ... :-s
I am writing from Italy and THANK YOU for the amazing video! I need to ask you a question about the CANSMART connectors. The ones I don’t use should be isolated or left without protection?
Luca S. good question. Denali don’t supply any insulation caps so I personally don’t insulate but I do think this is a good idea using either tape or some large heat shrink to pop just over the end and seal with tape ensuring it’s still easy to remove.
I have the identical Gs HP as this but with Touratech upper crash bars. Will your D4 deal package fit ok with your modified light mount bar and sound bomb mount?
Brilliant video... Thanks for making it! Really helpful to see how these things are installed. I was looking at the cansmart for the gsa1250 which has triangle shape light connectors. is there an adaptor that makes it possible to connect them to the Denali D2 light which has a flat oval connector or are the D2 lights just not compatible? Thanks again for sharing your video! :)
Chris Hill hmm. Which D2 lights do you have? I haven’t seen D2’s with 2 pin connectors. These must be old and therefore not have data dim functionality.
@@ABIKETHING Thanks for your help. I got the lights from a friend who bought a kit of them and had them on a 2016 RT. I found that Denali make a triangle shape 3 wire plug which I used to replace the plugs on the lights and they work great. Thanks again for your time. Best wishes for 2020!
Hi Steve I’ve just fitted a hex ezcan with D4spots ,brake light and sound bomb everything seem to be fine until I went for a ride out ,after a couple of minutes the sound bomb started blowing on its own then kept doing it every few minutes any ideas thanks Stuart...
Great video! I was watching this as I was installing my gen 2 cansmart and swapping out the OEM horn for the soundbomb compact horn on my 850GS. At the end of installation I get no sound when I press the horn? Tried Swapping the female connectors per the Denali “no anti theft” set up and it worked on ignition power up, motor not running.
Hi, is it on blue circuit? Blue is the default circuit for soundbomb. It doesn’t need to be on blue but you do need to make sure you plug cansmart into laptop and programme the circuit for the soundbomb. It’s kids play when you’re there configuring it.
@@ABIKETHING definitely on the blue circuit. The horn works when the ignition is on, but stops working when I start the the bike and engine is running?? The Light on the cansmart is blinking red at present. I went back and watched your video on Cansmart Programming/Firmware Update, and realized I had moved the horn amp setting in the software down from 25, to 5. Once I moved it back to 25, it now works while the bike is running. Will take her out for a test spin tomorrow 😎. Thanks again for the valuable input!
Thank you Steve, I’ll be looking to get some D4’s for my 2018 GSA Low. Your videos are great and I managed to install the INNOVV K3, (bought from you), with no mayor problems... Thank you 👍👍👍
Genuine Comments I’ve fitted loads of bundles to GS’s with upper crash bars. I have personally attached the lights to the upper crash bars and omitted the bar mount. However I do have a customer in USA who has sent me pics of the bar mount being used with the upper crash bar. I seem to have lost contact with him but I’ll reach out again as I’d like to know how he did it. The sound bomb is a problem I overcame with the upper crash bars by fabricating a small Extension to the current soundbomb mount.
When you mount the Sound Bomb I note that the bottom of the unit rests on the front brake line. When the front suspension is compressed this will result in the Sound Bomb pushing down and flexing the front brake line. Wont this put stress on the brake line over time and have the potential to impact the safe operation of the front brakes?
Mark Noble good question. I don’t believe so. I’ve put a note in my diary to make a video with a go pro mounted in a position to record this activity. I’ll wait for a dry day and ride down some big curbs, steps etc and apply hard front brake so we’ll hopefully witness the full travel of the suspension and how the bomb and brake line live up to expectation
Hi, I can't remember the colour of the wire. I'd use a multimeter to make sure if i was doing this. The following video shows a time when i tapped into the DRL dipped wire which shows as being yellow on this video. I think the High beam was the white wire if memory serves me correctly but check it by following it to the back of the headlight plug.
Stuart Kramer hi. I’ve sold quite few bits for them but never had one in to work on. There’s not a lot to them to be fair. The r1250gsa is the most challenging when it comes to strip down. I wouldn’t be daunted by one. I’d love to take one out for a ride sometime. What can help with?
Stuart Kramer my methods have changed. Tank is not always necessary to remove but remove as much of the side panels as possible to get best visibility. Just make note of the screws and how panels clip and slide together..
Vincent Jongens I cant remember with this installation. I’ve done many with leaving them on and off depending on customers preference. I’ve got more recent videos in my playlist which may be of Interest. Especially the latest battle of the horns video

How would this work with top crash bars like the Wunderlich type. Seems it is taking the same fixings.
Genuine Comments I’ve fitted loads of bundles to GS’s with upper crash bars. I have personally attached the lights to the upper crash bars and omitted the bar mount. However I do have a customer in USA who has sent me pics of the bar mount being used with the upper crash bar. I seem to have lost contact with him but I’ll reach out again as I’d like to know how he did it.
The sound bomb is a problem I overcame with the upper crash bars by fabricating a small Extension to the current soundbomb mount.
Hi thanks for your vidéo
I am from France and i would like to know wich type of connector we need to connect the cansmart to the macbook ?
Tkank you
gregory canevet hi it’s just a usb. If your Mac has a usb c connector you’ll have to use one of apples multi port usb c adapters.
Why can't you just plug the Denali horn into the OEM wiring to the existing horn? whey do you need to run wiring thru the bike?
When you mount the Sound Bomb I note that the bottom of the unit rests on the front brake line. When the front suspension is compressed this will result in the Sound Bomb pushing down and flexing the front brake line. Wont this put stress on the brake line over time and have the potential to impact the safe operation of the front brakes?
Mark Noble good question. I don’t believe so. I’ve put a note in my diary to make a video with a go pro mounted in a position to record this activity.

@@ABIKETHING If you remove the OEM horn will there be a Fault message in the screen?
Thanks!
Vincent Jongens no. It’s all good
나팔 혼에 단자를 끼울 땐 구리스를 꼭 발라야해. 안그럼 나중에 삭아서 작동이 안돼.
