As for turning your rear turn signals into brake lights get a badlands module
Something like this

At one time, I think you could get a kit that had replacement turn signal sockets in it that would take the standard 1157 dual filament bulb. You just swapped out the sockets, and added a wire for the running light portion of the bulb. I bet you could find a new socket at any auto parts store and swap it out. I think just a couple of screws hold it in.

It's cheap enough to add extra lights, such as an LED strip on your tourpak. The only problem with LEDs is that the technology still seems to be changing rapidly, so that yet better ones keep popping up. I'd avoid the really cheap ones.

I put bright *** lights on the rear brake lights on my bike. You can program the blink pattern. The P/N is BAL-1 I think. Easy enough to Google. They made a huge difference.

Bought this led board from Custom Dynamics for about $125, doesn't come with a new lens, just the board. Plugs into your existing 1157 socket. Have to look around their site to find this one without a new lens. Very bright.

Here is a LINK to those. Check em out!
With your bike, you would only be able to get 2 of the 3 functions unless you also had a Run-Brake-Turn Module.
You can see ours at this LINK.
