The first picture shows the location of the two holes that need enlarging. I should note a Dremel was used to trim the studs down after the nuts were tightened.

The second and third show where the new holes are to be drilled.

The fourth picture shows the entire plate and the pads used for vibration dampening.

TAn I enlarged the same holes you did but the 2 new holes I drilled matched the existing holes just north of where you drilled yours. I drilled the new holes in the Givi adaptor. I didn't need to trim anything on the box like you did by doing that. Plus didn't have to worry about drilling on the bend edge. I did add some weather strip like you did to try to decrease the rattle.

I saw that but I did not want to drill into the Givi plate.

6 of one half dozen of another just depends on where you want to drill the new holes.

My primary goal was to use the designed rear mounting. I do not think it is stronger but it may create a more rigid platform. A word of warning in that a more rigid mounting platform may also increase the need for vibration dampening.

I enjoy my Bestem too. But can understand why some go with the Givi. Easier to mount but also spendier. All depends on your personal budget.

I use mine as a trunk for all purposes. For my use the box is perfect.

When Givi cases can give me more rear lighting than I'm getting from my  $100 BESTEM 929 - I'll take a look at them.

I rely on this case & its lights most days of the week.

The string of LED red day time running lights at cager's eye level works good any time of the day.
Like good lights in front....good lights in back....make me more visible.
