I contacted Bestem just to advise them of what I found when I used their mounting plate to attach a 929 this week (thank you LeDude, for posting wiring details for splicing into the brake lights!).
Looking at the rear of the bike, the right-most bolt hole center was off by 1/8" to maybe 3/16". Here is a photo. I did not ask Bestem for any action for me. I think I'm okay, with enough torque on that bolt, and the box sits just fine on the plate.
I had two Givi boxes (V46 and E52) before and all the comparisons I read here are correct. The Bestem is AWESOME for the price. It gets the job done just fine, IMO. If I have any worry it is probably about the hinges. They seem too easily stressed if I over-stuff the box (yeah, I like to travel with a bunch-o-junk).
