I would find your foot-print dimensions and go trolling Goldwing and dresser Harley sites/stores.

If you already have the standard Hepco and Becker equipment with the very small rack, you can buy a rack extender. Forget it.

I bolted a Givi Universal Plate to my Tiny Luggage rack to put on my top case (E52 with brake light) but it broke.  I ended up repairing the break and and re-inforcing the luggage rack with two extra bars fro the aft end of the luggage rack to the bottom aft end of the Krauser rack.  This has lasted 50k miles of hard riding...
