Took a while to figure out what I even had (given that it has both Givi and Kappa marks on it!), but after some research I determined that my top case is a Kappa K48 with Suzuki branding. Like this:

Except mine has a "Suzuki Vstrom" badge where you see the silver "Kappa" badge in the photo.
Is there an easy way to add a brake light kit to the red reflector in the lid?
It looks as if there is some space in there, behind the reflector. Of course, I'd have to figure out how to route the wires.
The red reflector doesn't seem to be all that reflective. Been thinking of adding some reflective tape to the back of the case. It's always on the bike - functions as my "trunk."
Been pondering other auxiliary brake/supplemental turn signal lights as well. I have an aftermarket accessory fuse box under the seat (thanks to a previous owner). I'm pretty comfortable with soldering & running wires, so powering some additional lights shouldn't be too cumbersome.
