I found the Moss parts catalog. The two luggage racks are known as:
- AMCO Luggage Rack (tubular throughout) detachable #244-000
permanent #646-000
- Factory Optional (flat mount) only model #244-710
I don't know the demensions. However, the picture and from seeing some
firsthand seems the Factory Optional have a more narrow mount.
