Who had the champagne LT with backplate at CCR?  

I was looking at a champagne LT at CCR that had the Wudo backplate in place of the topbox. I have the same backplate on mine (in canyon red). If the that champagne LT was yours (or you know whose it is), please read the following.

I noticed on the champagne one that the four recesses where the backplate's "feet" are were filled with water and that the paint inside them was beginning to corrode as a result. That doesn't happen on mine because each "foot" has a tiny hole drilled near the bottom off to one side through which water drains. Since the champagne backplate on the mystery bike might be an earlier verson, I thought I'd just mention that you might want to take a very small drill bit and drill your own drainage holes in each foot so you don't continue to have that problem. I didn't find out whose LT it was, and wanted to at least mention it to help that LTer keep his/her backplate looking spiffy longer. (I REALLY like the look of these backplates on the LT!) So whoever you are, I hope this suggestion helps!
