Might be a bad earth on the frame somewhere

Check the earth in the rear light housing to the new LED unit.

Does the headlight dim when you hit the brake?
Chris,
All of the earths for the instrument cluster are crimped together in the loom which runs up the RHS side of the framework which supports the lights instruments etc.
Carefully cut back the insulation and remake this large earth joint, which will almost certainly have gone green from corrosion.
For your info the earths are brown in colour

Is the LED tail lamp a brake + tail? I guess it must be, so is it working properly? That is, the tail lamp lights normally and the brake lamp comes on much brighter without affecting the tail lamp?
What I'm thinking is that when the brake lamp comes on, somehow it's causing the side/tail/instrument circuit to draw more current and drop voltage.
Do all the side/tail/instrument lamps dim together when you put the brake on? They should, as they're all on the same circuit.

A good reason not to modify and fuck about with these bikes
Keep it stock and standard
