What I didn't make clear in the video is that when I switch them over to my KTM, I will need to get a different EZ-can as they are manufacturer specific.
Thank you. I put the same set up on my Africa Twin a couple of months ago, but with D4’s. Easy enough for a novice. I did remove more fixings and lifted the tank to aid cable routes and the connections to loom and battery. A great set up!
Hi guys! I'm interested in fitting some Denali S4 lights to my 2016 CRF1000L. I want to use the denali or SW motech frame mount rather than crashbar clamps. I was wondering if any of you can confirm if it will interfere with the stock crash bar. I can't really find any info on that. So can you explain which mount you used and which crashbar you have? Thanks in advance!
They really have it worked out, almost idiot proof which is great. I went with the heal tech module after watching Andy Man Cam install it and it works simpler than the Hex ezcan. My lights are not the Denali but man they do through light when I go to work at night. Hello from a snowy Northern Ontario Canada.
I’m not sure what bike you have, but I got an Africa twin and I’m curious how you’re switching the lights is it a separate switch that you put on the handlebar or do you go through the African twin screen with the switch gear?
The lights make a HUGE difference. I'm not sure I'd ever use the strobe effect feature though (but that's just me) The Denali sound bomb is just that! Wow.
Good video, and this confirmed my suspicion of needing the extension leads for the lights. I have a set of the D4's to put onto mine. Also I am considering getting a set of the D3 Fog lights with amber lenses for when I encounter fog or heavy rain, especially at night. I ride in all conditions and also I have a ton of wildlife here to be on the lookout for at night especially including big ones like moose so extra light is a good thing to have.
Have got the D4 twin set and are fantastic on the Affo twin but are looking at putting the D3 spots on for distance as it gets very dark here in West Oz and big jumpy things pop out of the scrub at the most unexpected of times… Will be looking at the sound bomb as well but from memory you cant just plug them into the oem plugs as of the extra amp draw on the thinner harness… Love watching your vid’s..
Hi fitted spots to my AT 1100 but the hex ez can wasn’t available at the time so I fitted the Thunder box a simpler system but very easy to fit for any accessories.
Great video Tony! Did you look at Clear Water lights at all? When you have oncoming traffic, do you turn off the S4s or are they switched to a lower power? I wouldn’t want to blind vehicles I’m meeting or following. Cheers from the LEFT side of the pond🇨🇦!
Cheers, I did look at them, but i would have needed to order from the States, so its 20% tax and import duty on top including the shipping! I did also think the Denali looked better are are better supported with accessories etc. Yes the S4's are set at 20% power for daylight dipped beam, 10% for night dipped beam and full 100% for main beam.
Great explanation, I have got different spot light, the question is do you need to rewire again or you can use the previous setup and just change the lights? Hope this make sense to you? Cheers
Hello , thanks for this Nice vidéo 👍 I’am also looking to upgrade my Africa twin 2023 with those items , but I m a little bit confuse with the spare parts of ez can , and and I won’t order the wrong items , So you have a list of all your products parts number so that I don’t make a mistake : I live in France and if it’s not correct by the first time it will be complicate .. sw-motech mounting bar impress me a lot nice and clean , I’ve found it but what is your experience with only one bolt for the fixation? Any issue? And at the end what kind of steering knobs are you using for switching the light .. also item number please 🙏.. I was adding almost all together, and is quite expansive around 800-1000€ all together correct? But the result is amazing 👍👍 Thanks for reading my post and depending on which time your are reading it , nice start in 2024🍾🍾🍾
The SW-Motech bar is nice and solid, it only has one bolt, but the bracket fixes securely around the frame. Once the EZcan is fitted the lights are operated through the stock controls. If you go to 'A Bike Thing' you can put together bundles whic makes things cheaper. For example the kits with the parts i've used is under £600 abikething.com/product/denali-s4-bundle-honda-crf1100l-africa-twin-adventure-sports-20-22/
I miss the part and the most important part for me was how do you control the switching of the lights? Is it another switch that you mount to the handlebar or is it integrated through the Honda screen?
I set it up via the laptop, and the lights go to 100% when the main beam switch is flicked. It’s all integrated via the ezCAN. If you want to vary the power as you ride, you’ll need to install a seperate handlebar controller
Now the denali do new cable to mount in front faring, mean the controller is in front and plugged with some 12pin socket into OEM honda circle, whats actually different on HEX ezCan and the Controller with dial mount??
Cheers, largely it was the size. After seeing a comparison between the D$ and S4 light output, I didnt think there was too much between them and the smaller form factor appealed more.
They should be, but I've just tried one and the website is very very slow to load up, so I think they might be having problems? Thanks for the Sub, much appreciated
So with the day and night intensity how does the ez can know when it’s day and night so to adjust between day and night for brightness. I have put the D4s on
@@mancavemoto so basically your say this uses the the power from the tft screen to change the light intensity for the spotlights but would I need to have a certain headlight so it changes with this from day to night
Essentially yes, many modern bikes Will have a sensor to automatically switch the display from light to dark or day to night, this is what the EZCAN uses to control the light output between the two.
@@robames4 The Africa Twin has an ambient light sensor in it's main display, the small one below the TFT display. This sensor monitors the ambient light and controls when the bike switches from DRL to headlights, also it is what will change the TFT display from daytime mode to night time mode. The ez-Can unit reads the signal from the ambient light sensor to adjust the output of the Denali lights to what you set them to run at for light intensity during the day and night.
Denali, the most expensive lights you can put on your bike. Vastly overpriced. The Hex ez-CAN, I tried a year ago. Confusing instructions and out of date documentation and then a device that failed after two weeks. The replacement I was sent then failed again. In the end I gave up on it and went another route.
What I didn't make clear in the video is that when I switch them over to my KTM, I will need to get a different EZ-can as they are manufacturer specific.
Great video, I have been struggling to make sense of canbus and how to fit accessories and this really helps. Thanks Charlie
Glad it was helpful! It was so easy to do, really impressed

Cheers, thanks for the info. I tried to remove as little as possible as I knew it wasnt staying on the bike for too long
@@mancavemoto understood and fair point. In contrast, I’m planning to keep my AT for the foreseeable.
Thank you for the channel and info. 👍
@@uponthepegs Are the D4s too bright for the road and have you had any issues with extended use?

Hi Shawn, I havent seen that, was it the Thunderbox?
@@mancavemoto Yes, and it works great. It doesn't have all the configurability but I didn't have to cut into my wiring harness.

They do, and no I think the novelty will wear off, but it maybe handy with the horn?
I put the little d2's on my 2017 AT and it really is night and day. Expensive but quality stuff. Nice video.
It really is! cheers
Even without an Ez-Can installing these lights wasn’t difficult for an absolute beginner
Good video, and this confirmed my suspicion of needing the extension leads for the lights. I have a set of the D4's to put onto mine.

Great product & excellent video! loved the flinch when u tried the horn - super horn!
Thank you very much! It genuinely made me jump the first time even when i knew I was pressing the button!
Great vid Tony 👍🏻. I've been thinking about a set for my Scrambler for a while. Think I'm sold now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers, they are ace, really make a difference
Great stuff, really nicely presented too.
Cheers
Fantastic horn! Great lights.
They are!
Really do like these. Thanks Tony, great video.
Thanks Ray, rode home through the country lanes tonight and they were amazing!
Have got the D4 twin set and are fantastic on the Affo twin but are looking at putting the D3 spots on for distance as it gets very dark here in West Oz and big jumpy things pop out of the scrub at the most unexpected of times… Will be looking at the sound bomb as well but from memory you cant just plug them into the oem plugs as of the extra amp draw on the thinner harness… Love watching your vid’s..
If you've already got an ezcan fitted the soundbomb will just plug in. Thanks much appreciated
Another brilliant vid thank you Tony
No oroblem

The wiring is fixed at the light end, so if you want to switch the lights, then the entire cable needs to be removed.
@@mancavemoto thank you
Tidy job Tony, now you have them u won’t be able to live without them. Great that you can transfer them to the KTM in the future 👍🏻
I think you're right Dave, I will have to buy an EX-Can specific for KTM though, I didn't make that clear in the video.
great video. wondering how do you cannect ezcan and denali lights? they have different connectors.
They have the same connectors. It all in the video
Hello , thanks for this Nice vidéo 👍
I’am also looking to upgrade my Africa twin 2023 with those items , but I m a little bit confuse with the spare parts of ez can , and and I won’t order the wrong items ,
So you have a list of all your products parts number so that I don’t make a mistake : I live in France and if it’s not correct by the first time it will be complicate ..

Thanks a lot 👍, so you think is possible to remote the bracelet to fix the lamps( i allready Order the sw motech ) in germany)
The bracket is part of the mount, just bolt it in place and fix the lights to it. the most difficult part is routing the cables through to the ezcan
I miss the part and the most important part for me was how do you control the switching of the lights? Is it another switch that you mount to the handlebar or is it integrated through the Honda screen?

Really informative video. What made you go for the S4 over say the D4? I’m trying to decide myself which to go for.
Cheers, largely it was the size. After seeing a comparison between the D$ and S4 light output, I didnt think there was too much between them and the smaller form factor appealed more.
Wow that's awesome. Interested to know where you will mount them on your 790... So I can follow suit with my 890 👍
Denali make a mount that fits them just below the headlight denalielectronics.com/products/driving-light-mount-ktm-790-adventure-790-adventure-r-19-19
@@mancavemoto ideal, thanks 😊👍
Aren't the Ez-can's bike specific? If so, does that mean you have to get a different one for your KTM? Very impressive lights.
Yes they are manufacturer specific, so yes i'd need a different one for the KTM
Thanks ,great video and well presented. are the links in description working? ime now subscribed, great job ;)
They should be, but I've just tried one and the website is very very slow to load up, so I think they might be having problems? Thanks for the Sub, much appreciated
I can’t tell if that soundbomb would fit with my outback crash bars. How far does it stick out ?
It doesn't stick out very far at all. Its still within the confines of the plastics
Nice informative video thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Looks good, but ezcan availability doesn't cover Piaggio group products (I ride a Guzzi)
That’s a shame but they do seem to be adding to the range regularly, maybe it’ll come along soon.
nice lamp. top
Great video. Tks.
No problem
How did you get both your fitted headlamps to work as low beam?
It’s an option within the Hex ezCAN software. I show how to set it up
In the video.
Can you turn off the lights during driving?
You can if you add a switch to the system, or of course you can set the drls not to be on.
Did you have to lift the tank and take off the front fairings?
No, just as you see in the video, unbolt the tank mount and you can lift it enough to give you space.
So with the day and night intensity how does the ez can know when it’s day and night so to adjust between day and night for brightness. I have put the D4s on
The ezCAN takes the ambient light reading from the ECU. It’s the reading that changes the tft display from light to dark
