Expand your motorcycle’s accessory capabilities with the DENALI Universal CANsmart™ Controller—bringing intelligent accessory control to virtually any motorcycle, whether it has a CANbus electrical system or not.

Unlike the traditional CANsmart™, the Universal CANsmart™ uses a universal raw-wire harness that can be tapped directly into your motorcycle’s OEM wiring. This gives you the full functionality and control of the CANsmart™ Controller without requiring a CAN-enabled motorcycle or a bike-specific controller. Power and control up to four accessory circuits while configuring advanced functions through the DENALI CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software.

For select motorcycle models, the universal harness can also be swapped for a bike-specific Plug-N-Play harness (available as CANsmart bundles or standalone harnesses). Pass-through connections integrate directly with existing circuits such as left and right turn signals, headlights, horn, and more—eliminating wire splicing and making installation faster and easier. The result is one versatile controller with the intelligent accessory control DENALI riders expect, now designed to fit practically any bike.

Intelligent Accessory Integration

With the DENALI Universal CANsmart™, your accessories don't simply switch on and off—they can respond dynamically to your motorcycle's controls.

Auxiliary lights can be programmed for dimming, strobing, modulation, and turn-signal cancellation. Brake lights can use programmable flash patterns and Smart Brake functions to increase visibility. You can also configure circuits for horns, GPS units, heated gear, phone chargers, and other electronic accessories.

With more than 35 customizable features and settings, you can configure the CANsmart™ to match your riding style and accessory setup.

Note: DialDim wiring does not include a brake light trigger, while universal CANsmart adapters provide brake light trigger functionality.

Universal & Plug-and-Play Installation Options

The DENALI Universal CANsmart™ is designed to make accessory installation dramatically easier by integrating with your motorcycle's existing electrical system.

The Universal CANsmart™ offers two flexible wiring options for intelligent accessory control. Choose the true Universal setup with raw trigger leads for tapping into your bike’s switched power, high beam, horn, turn signal, and brake circuits. Or, pair it with a Bike-Specific Plug-N-Play Harness for pass-through connections that eliminate wire splicing and simplify installation. This makes installation cleaner, faster, and easier to reverse when needed. 

Bike Specific CanSmart Bundles With Plug-and-Play Wiring Harnesses available and individual harness are also available.

Four Independent Accessory Circuits

The CANsmart™ provides four independently configurable accessory circuits, allowing you to control multiple accessories from a single intelligent controller.

Each circuit can be configured for the accessory type you need, including:

• Auxiliary Driving Lights - Control and configure compatible auxiliary lighting.
• Brake Lights - Add programmable brake light flash patterns and Smart Brake functionality.
• Turn Signals - Configure auxiliary lighting behavior around your motorcycle's turn signals.
• Horns - Control high-power aftermarket horns such as the DENALI SoundBomb™.
• GPS and Phone Chargers - Provide clean switched 12V power for electronic devices.
• Heated Gear - Use a configurable accessory circuit to power compatible heated gear.
• Other 12V Accessories - Configure circuits for a wide variety of compatible electronic accessories.

Each circuit can be individually configured through the DENALI CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software.

Intelligent Lighting Control

The CANsmart™ gives you extensive control over auxiliary lighting.

Depending on your motorcycle and configuration, available lighting functions include:

• High/Low Sync - Configure auxiliary lights to synchronize with your motorcycle's high beam.
• ON/OFF and Dimming - Independently control auxiliary lights and adjust their intensity for day and night riding.
• Flashing and Strobe Functions - Configure auxiliary lights with customizable flashing and strobe functions.
• Light Modulation - Modulate auxiliary lights to increase visibility to other motorists.
• Turn-Signal Cancellation - Configure auxiliary lights to cancel with the corresponding turn signal.
• Daytime and Nighttime Dimming - Set different brightness levels for daytime and nighttime riding.
• Customizable Brightness Levels - Configure your auxiliary lights to provide the lighting behavior you want.

You can independently control and configure your auxiliary lights to provide the exact lighting behavior you want.

Smart Brake Light Control

The CANsmart™ also provides advanced brake-light functionality.

Configure your auxiliary brake lights with programmable flash patterns and Smart Brake technology. The Smart Brake feature can activate based on braking and deceleration, helping make your motorcycle more noticeable to traffic behind you.

Powerful Horn Control

Connect a high-power motorcycle horn such as the DENALI SoundBomb™ directly through the CANsmart™ without requiring a traditional relay.

You can also configure your auxiliary lights to flash when the horn is activated, providing an additional visual warning to surrounding traffic.

Switched Power for Additional Accessories

The CANsmart™ can also provide clean switched 12V power for accessories such as GPS units, phone chargers, heated gear, and other electronic devices.

When configured as an accessory circuit, the connected device can automatically switch on and off with the motorcycle's ignition.

Built for Versatility

Whether you ride an adventure bike, touring motorcycle, commuter, or custom build, the DENALI CANsmart™ provides a powerful way to integrate and control your accessories.

The CANsmart™ is available in motorcycle-specific configurations for a growing range of popular models, providing a streamlined installation solution tailored to your motorcycle.

Motorcycle Compatibility

The Universal CANsmart™ controllers are designed to be used with limitless bike applications. DENALI offers a wide range of either pass-through harness to be used with the Universal CANsmarts or our standard Bike-Specific CANsmart Controllers that plug directly into your bikes CAN system. See Year, Make, Model search for availability. 

Please select the CANsmart™ controller specifically designed for your motorcycle model and year.

Because CANsmart™ controllers use different vehicle-specific connections and programming, compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.

CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software

The free DENALI CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software allows you to configure and customize your accessories directly from your computer.

The software allows you to select the function assigned to each of the four circuits and customize available features to suit your riding style.

You can also configure electronic circuit protection. If a circuit detects an overload, the electronic fuse can automatically reset after an ignition cycle.
