Speeding up the Ramones would make it sound like a yelp.

It's strange that they don't make a brake light kit for the Givi E340 bag, since it has all of the necessary cut-outs on the bottom plate. I'm going to try hacking something together with the light set for the E370 and a strip of automotive LEDs, that I'm getting for $10.00. There's a perfect place to set up the light, in the grab handle. I'll just have to set up a reflector for them.

Almost done wiring up the top box. I ended up using one entire strip of automotive LEDs, under the reflector on the top box, and they're damned near blinding. They're embedded in flexible rubber so I was able to run them right across the back, then bend them into the grab handle area. They're also 3M tape backed, which made it that much easier.

I tested them by hooking them up to a 12V security system battery, that I had laying around. Being in the top box will put them just about at the eye level, of the average vacant driver, so that's perfect.

There we go. Wiring is all done on the box. The bike side of things shouldn't take me more than maybe 15-20 minutes, once it warms up.

And how's this for a kick in the teeth, in the dark?

Looks good!!!

I'm really happy with the way that it turned out. From the outside the case looks completely stock, because I used the actual Givi wiring. Having the cut-outs for it made it easy but still has me wondering why they were there, since they never intended for it to have a light.

The inside turned out pretty clean too, with all of the wiring hidden under black 3M cloth tape and wiring sheathing, that I cannibalized from an ethernet cable.

The LEDs in the box will only come on under braking but that's OK, because it'll make them stand out all the more.

I was going to suggest running brake light only anyway.

Once I get the wiring done on the bike side of things, I'll make another video to show the overall results.

Here's the final result.

Damn skippy, every time you brake, it's going to show up on a NASA satellite.

Nice work.
