Top box lights

[Dazcoates]

Anyone fitted addition brake / tail lights to their top ( I have a givi Trekker ).
Will be going too and from work over winter and just trying to be seen more .

I bought a second hand Givi box that has brake lights fitted.

I had one of these fitted to my top box when on my Tiger 800 - just a stick on but I added a small tywrap at each end.

Just wired it as a brake light though, had no issues with any "brake warning" on the 800 but still to try it on my new 900 GT..

Morning Dazcoates,  I fitted these on a 90° brackets rivetted to the underside and joined the two lights to one cord, then dremelled a shallow channel to the rear of the box and sealed in the wires, which connect to a waterproof connector on the near side.  I first bought a second hand light unit for about £25  and cut the wires into that, so the original is still intact.

Thanks Philmcglass!  I did manage to do some time ago, but I'm using a kindle fire, which has some silly ideas!

[Dazcoates]
