I created a sturdy aluminium mounting plate as an interface with the Givi mount adapter, and after some careful measurements (measure thrice(!), drill once), I used a set of marine grade male/female interlocking slide brackets to mechanically locate my Pelican tail trunk. To ensure it didn't wiggle loose, OR walk away in the hands of a miscreant, I then installed two machine bolts from the underside of the custom mount plate, and inside the Pelican case, used medium sized wingnuts to cinch it down nice and tight.  I do use oversize rubber grommets as bumpers too, because we all know things vibrate a bit back there on day long trips.This works well for me, has never been tampered with yet (6 years, ~ 60K miles ridden), especially because I tend to leave that tail trunk mounted throughout my ~ 7 month riding season each year.</blockquote>
