So, I put a luggage rack and top case on my 14 Monster 1200.
Looking at the pics it looks like a delivery truck or something with the box attached. It doesn't strike me that way in person. :laugh:

The brake light is back in there, as you can see. Makes me wish for something more visible, and I ordered these LED license plate bolts for supplemental brake lights. I will probably have to play test crash dummy, but if anyone can tell me the easiest and/or best place to tap into the brake light power, please let me know. I have the axle mounted mud flap / plate holder so the wire will not be short. Will follow the plate light wires forward I guess.

I just did the extra brake light thing on my 2013 796, I use the Whelan Lin 3 light, ( I have put one of these on every bike I have owned in the last 5 years)

I tapped into the connector in the tool tray area. It is an eight pin Molex type that actually has only six positions used. Two grounds, a stop light, a running/plate light, a right directional and a left directional. It appears this is conventional and not a CANBUS as I had expected so it is easy to check and wire.

I would imagine our bikes are somewhat alike, if you find that connector post a picture or give me the colors on the wires

Thanks for that. They came in a couple days ago. Once I get into it I will post up again.
