I have ridden 400mile days with a backpack much easier to lane split with no saddlebags.
Get a hunting backpack like the Badlands SuperDay Pack, it has a waist strap to keep the pressure off your shoulders.

though I had a denim paint job at the time and it really wouldn't do anything to it

Used a backpack for years. Either this one or it's UCP counterpart.

I rock a back pack all the time on my bike, no problems as of yet. I got a bad I got at the local Walmart in the motorcycle section. Has support in the back as well as a chest strap to help hold it on and with the pressure on your back.
