Hi Prennie,
In my bike tail rack is branded Kappa. You will have to use universal mounting kit as there is no model specific kit available.
Mounting kit: K1200 Universal Monorack - Fitment kits
Top plate: MKN - Fitment kits
Same products are also available under brand Givi:
Top Case Mounting : M3 MONOKEY PLATE
Universal Mounting : 1000F MONORACK SIDEARMS
You can find distributors/importers on those websites.
Mounting is quite difficult. At first I used only the parts that came with the kit . They were attached under existing boltholes of the frame. That was very flimsy setup. The rack was moving up and down as the mounting parts swiveled around too easily.
I had to make my own mounting brackets under the rear frame. I used steel flat bar measuring 4mm by 25mm. Fabricating required many hours of work - including bending, twisting, drilling, cutting, welding, grinding and finally painting.
Now the rack is very solid. No more swiveling at all.

A couple of pictures of my late run Hurricane. It's a 1989, so near the end of the production run. 52k miles on the clock but is in very good condition.
I bought it off a friend who bought it on whim 18 months ago but quickly decided it wasn't for him (Looks weren't too his taste) so I've taken it off his hands.
It's been well loved over it's life and has a few little extras including the custom seat, grips & bar
No idea if these pictures are going to load, so apologies if they don't.
