Then mounted their generic locking plate to that sheet. That stays on when the trunk is removed and looks pretty good.

    I think the 3/16" is thick enough, but I might have gone with 1/4" if I bought a piece. I get a little bit of flex because the trunk is mounted almost completely "behind" the rack mounts. That is so I can leave the backrest on. If you remove the backrest, you can mount the trunk further up and will be more stable.
    Great info, 98Valk. And the mounting plate looks good like that. I don't blame you for not wanting to buy the specific plate. That box isn't cheap even without it.
