Description CANsmart accessory controller for Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L and NT1100

Code DNLWHS21800 — DENALI code DNL.WHS.21800

The control unit uses the Africa Twin's CANbus to control up to four accessories from the original handlebar buttons, without adding switches or loose relays under the seat. It plugs into the factory connectors: nothing needs to be cut or drilled.

Four circuits rated at 10 A continuous each, 30 A total, preconfigured for two sets of DENALI auxiliary lights, a SoundBomb horn, and the B6 brake light, all reconfigurable through the CANsmart Accessory Manager software along with dozens of other settings: flashing with the high beams, strobing with the horn, automatic shutoff with the turn signals, and an electronic fuse for each circuit.

Compatible motorcycles: Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L from 2020 to 2025, including the Adventure Sports ES and DCT versions, and the Honda NT1100 from 2025.

Not compatible with the Africa Twin CRF1000L, the previous generation: its CANbus is different.

Why choose it

L'Africa Twin è una moto che si allestisce: faretti, clacson, luce freno, presa per il navigatore. Senza centralina ogni pezzo porta con sé un relè e un interruttore da trovare dove montare; con il CANsmart tutto passa da un modulo solo e si comanda dai pulsanti che hai già sul manubrio.

  • Quattro circuiti da 10 A continui, 30 A totali.
  • Comando dai comandi originali al manubrio.
  • Installazione sui connettori originali, senza tagliare cavi.
  • Fusibile elettronico per circuito e decine di regolazioni dal software.
Who is it recommended for

A chi ha un'Africa Twin CRF1100L, in qualsiasi versione compresa l'Adventure Sports ES, e vuole aggiungere più di un accessorio elettrico senza riempire la moto di relè. Vale anche per la NT1100 dal 2025.

Se hai la CRF1000L, la generazione precedente, questa centralina non è compatibile: il CANbus è diverso. E se metti solo una coppia di faretti, un cablaggio con interruttore costa molto meno.

Documents and manufacturer

La centralina non modifica l'impianto originale della moto: si innesta sui connettori di serie e può essere rimossa riportando la moto allo stato di fabbrica. Ogni circuito ha un fusibile elettronico impostabile dal software.

Gli accessori collegati restano soggetti alle regole del codice della strada che li riguardano: i fari supplementari vanno montati in numero pari e simmetrici, il clacson deve rispettare i limiti previsti.

DENALI riconosce 5 anni di garanzia convenzionale del produttore, che si aggiunge ai 24 mesi di garanzia legale di conformità.

How does it work, in detail?

  • Four accessories controlled by the buttons on the Africa Twin’s handlebar.
Four accessories controlled by the Wonder Wheel

Four accessories controlled by the Wonder Wheel

The control unit connects to the motorcycle’s CAN bus and provides four circuits for accessories. From then on, auxiliary lights, the horn, and the brake light can be switched on, switched off, and adjusted using the BMW Wonder Wheel, with no additional switches on the handlebar and no loose relays under the seat.

Plug-and-play installation, with no wire cutting

Plug-and-play installation, with no wire cutting

It plugs into the motorcycle’s original connectors: nothing needs to be cut or drilled, and no relays need to be added. The control unit comes preconfigured for two sets of DENALI lights, a SoundBomb horn, and the B6 brake light, so in most cases it’s simply a matter of installing it and using it.

Dozens of software settings

Dozens of software settings

By connecting the control unit to the computer with the included micro USB cable, the CANsmart Accessory Manager software opens up dozens of settings: flashing with the high beams, strobing with the horn, automatic shutoff with the turn signals, an electronic fuse for each circuit, five-level heated clothing control, and activation only when the engine is running.

FAQs

For more information, see our FAQ of frequently asked questions.

Is it suitable for my Honda?

Covers the Africa Twin CRF1100L from 2020 to 2025, including the Adventure Sports ES and DCT versions, and the NT1100 from 2025. It is not compatible with the Africa Twin CRF1000L, the previous generation, which does not have the same CAN bus.

What’s the difference between GEN I and GEN II?

This is the GEN II, with more available current and more settings. DENALI stopped developing new features for GEN I devices in February 2024: if you find a cheaper GEN I controller out there, be aware that it no longer receives updates.

Do you need to know how to work on the electrical system?

No. The control unit plugs into the motorcycle’s original connectors: nothing needs to be cut or drilled. The part requiring the most attention is reaching the connection point, which is located differently on each model: the official DENALI manual shows it step by step.

Can I connect non-DENALI accessories to it?

Yes. The four circuits come preconfigured for DENALI accessories, but each can be reconfigured through the software and supports 10 A continuously: you can connect a USB socket, GPS, dashcam, heated grips, or any other accessory within that limit.
