Marco,
You can add an optically fired strobe to your camera. I put my old strobe on Sandi's G11, all you need to do is get the strobe and the fiber optics cable (or slave unit) and a tray with arm for the strobe. Check around on E-bay. I got the one she's using for a pretty good deal.

The "aftermarket harness" is likely just a clear velcro doohickie that sticks to your case. Often packaged with the fiber optic cable. No biggie. The strobe people seem to like is the Inon S2000.

Perhaps the "new" strobe purchasers like the Inon, but many, many Ikelite users are still using Ike. 
The DS160 with the Manual Controller is a great option AFAIH. My SS200, purchased in '01, with the Slave Sensor, purchased in '02, only requires the housing's flash diffuser be covered by a reflector (AL foil or drink can).
Can the G11 pre-flash be disabled to just fire a slave signal? If so it could screw right on to the tray shown below and strobe away.
