For the OP, I'm gonna check out a small leather backpack at Wilson's Leather tomorrow that I was told about. I'm NOT putting bags on my NT!

Marsh the RUB here. I use detachable hardware on my Heritage. Leave the bags off most of the time but they are quick to put on if I am in need of a change of clothes.
Back packs are seen mostly on Sport Bike riders.

I where a backpack when I bring my computer home from work because it doesn't fit in my saddlebags.

RE: Saddlebags or backpack
I've been riding since the 70's and always had a luggage rack, backrest, and a trunk. Currently have a Boss Bags leather trunk with side pouches that looks good to me on my SuperGlide. I'm not a big fan of saddlebags either but I suppose they'd be necessary for two-up touring, not as much for commuting/joy riding. I have no interest in managing a backpack while riding, especially while stopping to shop, eat, etc.

The backpack doesn't work if you have a passanger. \\; I use a backpack when I ride my ducati. \\; I don't think I will ever buy a bike again that doesn't have saddlebags. \\; They make things \\; a lot more convenient.

Ditto, I've got a nice hiking backpack that straps across my stomack and my chest and I don't even notice it's there. \\;I do imagine that it may get a little hot during a long mid summer road trip. \\;
