Hey all,
I wanted to share with you my recent installation of the AdMore Lite Bar (http://admorelighting.com/index.php?page=products/index.php&subpage=3). It's a slightly different take on the install from the other thread in this forum. I wired the Lite Bar along with the AdMore Givi light kit that I already had. It's all wired to an Eastern Beaver Brake/Tail/Signal adapter (http://easternbeaver.com/Main/Bike_Specific/VStrom/body_vstrom.html#braketailsignal).
The installation was easy and the Lite Bar looks great mounted to my Adventure MotoStuff Givi rack. It's bright during the day and VERY bright during the night. I highly recommend this product if you want good visibility.
Here are a couple of pictures with short explanations of what they show. Please let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Lite Bar wires and Givi light kit wires connected to Eastern Beaver adapter using 2-into-1 Posi-Lock connections, as well as two Posi-Tap connections.

Connections cleaned up with zip ties.

The Givi light kit wire loom is routed on the left, the Lite Bar loom on the right. The wires are running between the tail piece and side panels. I used a Dremel to grind out a bit of tail piece plastic to let the loom through.

The Lite Bar installed under the Adventure MotoStuff Givi rack. It was as simple as using two bolts to connect the Lite Bar bracket to the already existing cutouts in the rack.

Lights on during the night, hazard lights (blinkers) on to show both top case and Lite Bar functionality.
Please note that I also have Buel Ulysses turn signals with superbrightleds.com LED bulbs, as well as LED bulbs in the tail light.
I wanted to thank AdMore Lighting for making these great LED products for our bikes. They look great and greatly increase visibility. With such easy installation, anyone should be able to handle this project in one easy afternoon.
