I used L shaped pieces of aluminum to make my own. I replaced the shock mounting bolts for longer ones and put a long threaded bolt to go through where the rear turn signals mount. Those are attached to the frame. I had nuts to hold the long bolt in place where the signals were. It was maybe a foot long. I'm probably calling it a wrong name, but any hardware store will have it. Then I made a flat bracket to hold the two pieces together to look like a mounting plate for a trunk. I bent the L shaped pieces to follow the curve of the rear end. That is why I used aluminum. Plus it's light. Once you put the hard bags on, you won't even see the brackets. I made my own hard bags from discarded street signs. Ummmm, pretty? Not me, sorry. But very useful.
