got one of them
very well made 
I've found the photos for those that don't like TT prices 
ok it's not as smart but when your luggage is strapped down... 
Piece of alloy chequer plate around 300mm x 300mm
Use the 2 side slots and drill a hole at the front to secure 3 'Mini' rubber exhaust mounts, a couple of quid from halfords.
Use dome nuts to prevent snagging.
The rubber mounts lift the plate up a bit so when you have luggage across it you can still get you pannier lids off

It looked like it might well do just that...

Vern's Version
A few months ago, Vern was threatening to re-commence his manufacture of these things - Vern are you out there?
Seems there might be a market (including me).

From what I can gather, it is. It certainly looks identical... Although it seems to be about £45 more expensive from Wunderlich than a price given on the Zweckdesign website. However, I suppose the postage, inconvenience and sheer fannying about of trying to buy direct would cancel out a lot of that saving.
Ho hum, swings and roundabouts...

Well I definitely browsed the handbook. It's where the idea came from.
Tried the widget this morning when I was farting around fitting the power cable for the GPS, didn't seem to be able to get it to work though.
Operator trouble probably.
I cant get mine to work either.

I feel a bit better now.
It's all a conspiracy to force us to buy ZweckDesign luggage plates at a 40% mark-up from Wunderlich...
Bloody capitalists.

Sussed it...
The widget slots into the underside of the plastic tool tray cover, it doesn't just go through the hole like I thought.
Nevermind, Wunderlich/ZweckDesign plate on order. Just have to wait a few weeks as they only had it in black.
Thanks for all the advice everyone.

FWIW I bought the Bestrest one back in '02 before I knew VernELIMINATOR said:
made them. Cost about a ton and postie couldn't be arsed to collect the £17ish customs charge 
. It's a good bit of kit as you bin the tray and fit their soft liner which sits on top of the mudguard and gives a bit more space for whatever 
. Regards, Mick
I got one of those bestrest products thingies from the states a few weeks ago, nice bit of kit and comes with a wee bag to put your gear/stash in.
