Side note, I’m doing something like this next weekend down blue ridge parkway and then off-road to a camping spot. Plan on probably removing the rear seat and replacing with a duffle bag I can strap to the sissy bar somehow. Excited to see how loading up the bike and camping with it will be.

More usable and secure space. The seat is only so wide and by making the plate wide and longer I can also integrate tie in points on the plate.Plus I found with the vinyl seat my bag would slide around a lot even if it was strapped down. I'm thinking I may try and integrate some sort of attachment for an MSR fuel bottle to carry spare fuel. I see a lot of Dual Sport/ADV guys doing it. Plus I like building shit. 

Oh? As in like this weekend?
