Sure is, especially as there's no delay on the brake lights. It's not a critical issue, but it is strange.
The extra outboard lighting definitely helps with visibility. It's not as bright as the stock brake light, for example, but it's very directional. Someone at minivan seat height must feel like he's being kicked in the face.

That's why I'm going to try and adapt one of their generic top box lighting kits for my Givi E340; right at eye level

And just what music would you put in a video of blinking signal lights?

Speeding up the Ramones would make it sound like a yelp.

It's strange that they don't make a brake light kit for the Givi E340 bag, since it has all of the necessary cut-outs on the bottom plate. I'm going to try hacking something together with the light set for the E370 and a strip of automotive LEDs, that I'm getting for $10.00. There's a perfect place to set up the light, in the grab handle. I'll just have to set up a reflector for them.

Almost done wiring up the top box. I ended up using one entire strip of automotive LEDs, under the reflector on the top box, and they're damned near blinding. They're embedded in flexible rubber so I was able to run them right across the back, then bend them into the grab handle area. They're also 3M tape backed, which made it that much easier.
I tested them by hooking them up to a 12V security system battery, that I had laying around. Being in the top box will put them just about at the eye level, of the average vacant driver, so that's perfect.
