    Thought I would offer my experience to anyone else trying to install a Banshee or a Stebel Horn on a F650GS... I had a bit of a struggle with the Banshee Horn system wiring on the Dakar.  Seems that the Dakar doesn't quite accommodate the initial Banshees that were launched.  Here is the thread...
