Really quite easy and the plate was properly bent at the rear to line up with the bolt hole. That was a Kappa 28 liter case I used. Emgo makes a fairly decent one for less money but I don't know the size off hand. I'm thinking larger though, so that would be good.
Lynda was happy to have a backrest on a 5000km. trip 2 years ago. At the time I had to resort to piling stuff behind me. Got a backrest for Xmas.
