I finally pulled the trigger on the top box for the 1300. It's great. I need to add some LED lights for brakes. Other than that I love it!.

 

Nice, what size trunk is that? You are the hard core long distance traveller now. Just add trailer, will travel. lol

 

Looks good Deej.
What are your big-trip plans for 2016?
We're planning a run to Canada.

 

No trips planned yet, but that will probably change. I added some lights to the trunk, and they turned out pretty good.

I had a lot of choices of what lights I wanted to connect. The strips come with the option to have running lights (red), turn signals (yellow) brake lights (bright red. The problem with having running lights hooked up is that the difference between running and brake is not really enough for my taste. So I opted for just brake light and turn signals. The issue with the turn signals is while they work and are not bad as far as brightness goes, as soon as you hit the brake, they disappear into the red part of the light. But that's ok. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures. I put a 6 pin plug to disconnect the trunk, and a junction box inside the trunk to keep all the wires safe and to be able to to work on it in the future. I also ran 12v from the battery (fused) to inside that junction box so I can add a 12 socket or usb charging plug. I really am liking the trunk more each day. Another thing I like is the fact that my helmet fits inside so I can keep it out of my way in my over packed garage and not have to worry about it rolling off the bench every time I go to move it.

Here are a couple of pictures.
