I have a knock off Rear Carrier rack and I'm looking for the right collars (long and short) that will fit the rack. Looks like the OEM version comes with a set. Is there anyway that I can get these aftermarket?

Try Ace.
You might have to cut them to size and paint.

I have found similar spacers in chrome at my local ACE Hardware store. They did have some in plastic which I would not recommend since you will be putting weight on them.

Anybody know the depth of those, long and short?

Just looked at your thread, like what you had made. Seen it at The RTE at Cody's. I forgot to ask where did you get the solid black material for the larger one? I think I might be able to use my collars that came with the Honda Rack. I thinking about putting a small type box similar to the GiVi Box with a subwoofer in a seal box inside, just not sure of the weight or weight span of the/a cutting board strength. thanks Papa Tater

I just got some black anodized spacers from these people.

I bought the Twisted Throttle Givi rack to be able to use a top case. I didn't like how the rack sat too high at the back and too far from the bike. I used stacks of washers instead of the spacers in the kit and removed some washers until I found the right distance and slope. Then I cut the spacers from the kit to the right measurements and I got the exact results I wanted. I could have left the washers but since I had the black spacers I used those. Now the rack slightly slopes down in the same direction as the bike's tail.

The black commercial grade vinyl was acquired from a friend who manufactures it. You could possibly buy it on-line. I was fortunate enough to get two blanks free:shhh: The vinyl is extremely rigid and can hold considerable weight i.e. my loaded golf bag for example:icon_lol:
