Can Bus Electrical system
Dear All,
Please excuse me if I have put this thread in the wrong place ! I am not to good at this yet !
I am trying to get to grips with something which I am sure has been addressed on many occasions before now.
I want to replace the horn on my R1200 GS LC. It is very feable. On one of my other bikes, namely a 2009 Goldwing, I have a magnificent horn. The Goldwing horn is original Honda equipment ( not modified in anyway), but consists of two seperate units providing, what I believe, is two seperate tones.
I would love to put the Goldwing horn system onto the BMW. Mounting the units is not a problem. My concern is about the dreaded Can Bus !!!
Some people suggest that it is impossible to replace the existing horn unless I use a compatible horn designed for Can Bus, and others make reference to replacing their horn with anything that was available during their travels, when the original failed.
Please would someone be kind enough to advise me on this. Needless to say, I have not tried a new horn and don't intend to until I know the answers.
By the way, most BMW mechanics swerve the question !
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
Peter
