Could always make your own. I just made one and it wasn't really that hard. I'm far from being a fabricator and I got through it.

I went with custom Etsy one. Sellers name is Edward Richie: https://www.etsy.com/people/edwardschipper

Good stuff. Quick, and he'll do custom specs too.

I went with tophand ventures. Local company in Houston and it fits on the inside of the struts and looks a little cleaner to me.

another option...
the quick release side plate hd version would give you more flexibility and will also let you swap in other attachments as needed. you could do a sissy and a rack at the same time.

I have a cheap-O eBay sissy bar that is pretty tall, like 23 inch maybe? And i then bought a Harley rack so my **** isn't sitting on the fender and scratching the Hard Candy paint.
