Installed plate

Nice work! That looks like it should do, be sure to let us know how it performs on the trip.

You'll definitely want to keep an eye on that. Might be too hot?

What's the word, too hot or just right? The way I'm seeing it is the plate will turn the rear section into a "hotbox", will definitely keep the ice away, but might be to warm for the seat foam.. I do hate it when my XTX fires out a slab of ice on the trail, sounds / feels like a minor catastrophe!
