Iconic is now home.
Yes the top box has central locking. It even has a built in light!
Currently investigating the bluetooth functions. I have a Sena 20S headset, IPhone 5S and a Nav 5.
If I have issues I’ll be back for more advice.

They all have the built-in courtesy light, and that light will completely flatten the battery if you leave the top box open to air for a week or two after a trip. DAMHIK ! :-X
A high level brake light can be fitted in the trim at the back of the lid - a pretty good safety feature I think.
Ah, the very useful top box interior light.
Didn't know I had one, found it on a Monday morning, after leaving the bike on Friday afternoon.
Bike started fine, but now if I need to leave to box open, i close the catch which puts the light out.

Many Thanks
Yeah the brake light added to the box sounds worthwhile.
Is the wiring of a light complicated?

I had the brake light fitted by the dealer before I picked the bike up, so I don't know how complicated it is.
Since there is no extra wiring external to the top box, I would guess that it should be plug and play (but you'd be safer asking the dealer how much the charge for fitting would be - that will give you an indication of the time involved.

I'll try to remember that for next time - Thanks ! ;D

For clarity are you saying the wiring to the brake light wiring of the bike exists in the top box?
So I could purchase the brake light and DIY?
Mine was there. Take out the screws and see if the wire is there. Its only a few minutes to check.
Yes you were 100% correct.
There is a plug to wire into.
I assume the brake light will come with the wire connected to it with the reverse plug?
I’ll send you a link to the brake light I’m planning to purchase for your opinion.
Having taken the panel for the brake light off the box for inspection I am struggling to work out how to remove the blank that the light will replace?
I don’t want to force it and do damage?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Theres a surround to remove. This picture is not very good but it shows the surround holding the light in the small image.
I have the extra brake light on order and am intending to fit it myself but just had a disquieting thought - does it affect the Canbus and hence need dealer coding?
I have the brake light with my top box. But I only travel with the top box when my wife comes along, which is only about twice a year. So I fitted some extra brake/running lights around my number plate. I bought Skene P3 lights from the States, they come with a module to wire into the bike, so no can bus issues and you can set them to flash or whatever you want. On my 1250 I now have a Denali Cansmart, so have removed the module that came with the lights and have them wired direct to the Cansmart and controlled from there.
