I asked a question in another thread:
"On the SHAD website ( http://www.shadonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=D0B50KL )they show a brake light kit. Does anyone know if this will fit with the Moto Guzzi version of the SH50 top case?"
I received one of these for Christmas and finally got it put on and the answer to my question is YES! But, it does not fit perfectly. On my California, the 50L OEM top case mounts in such a way that the brake light needs to mount about 1/2" towards the rear of the bike due to the steel MG rack. That means that the holes in the plastic mounting plate do not line up. No problem, really. I drilled two new holes in the base plate for the mounting screws towards the outside and made an extension mounting bar out of a small piece of metal scrap I had.
The light is a brake light OR a running light, not both. I wired it as a brake light and am very happy with the additional light it throws out when the brake light is activated.
