How much **** are you trying to carry? I have a "sea" bag i picked up at a naval surplus store for $15. Its HUGE and it can be strapped to a sissybar. I can easily get a weeks worth of stuff and my tent in it, and when it's full it makes one hell of a back rest. It also has straps so it can be used as a backpack or duffel bag. And it's waterproof. You can't beat it.

I need to look for something to commute to work and back. Sick of wearing it when it gets hot.

I use the detachable one-piece HD sissy bar for my wife when I used to take her. Now, I take the backpad off and remove the support frame from my ILBE pack and the sissy bar slides right in there! Strap it down with the buckles and I'm good to go! used that for long trips as if fits an insane amount of stuff. Otherwise put my backpack inside one of my LeatherPro's and I'm good to go!
