I saw that AliExpress one on Amazon from a few different "brands" but they all look the exact same. I feel the Givi Maxia is an interesting alternative, there's a rack from Amazon that fits the Givi plate but it also looks very AliExpress-ish: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0H6GJH38F...2RM8NUK7&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

You should buy a factory GIVI mounting plate for the GIVI box as the givi top case will engage directly into the mount and snap and lock in place.

Never saw the white in person.

How did you mount that water bottle holder to the side of the bike like that? It’s perfect!

RAM Mobile mount, I used the existing anchor hole for the engine 1800.badge.

Thanks for this, I’m surprised it can hold all that weight from that one bolt hole. Good to know it’s tested

To be honest, the screw gets tightened and a bit of blue loctite at least once a year, when I replace the air filter as part of my annual PM.

Looking at it now, with the information you shared, I think I’ll just drill a hole into the middle of the plate and mount a ram mount ball there.

This will take the pressure off the smaller screws and should do the trick

I replaced the one screw, with a slightly longer screw; I haven't had any issues with it loosening up.
