Default combonation luggage rack/sissy bar?

I'm wondering if anyone has come across one of these for a solo setup. I'm wanting a luggage rack with an 18-24" sissy bar comming off it so I have something to strap to. I'm contemplating just making one but I'm curious if there's anything out there already. Looking to take some longer trips this year and the solo bag aint gonna cut it.

Thanks in advance.

My stock heritage sissybar is about 11 inches from the seat. It holds my Tourmaster T-bag just fine. Also, Harley makes more that are taller than that. All will probably accept a luggage rack. I put the 'tapered' one on mine and it works fine.
