I love camping off my bike. I even have a pintrest page on it. 1 pic from our honeymoon at sturgis at the broken spoke campground ( that is a rei half dome 4) packed on back of our bikes. The other pic is from oc bike week. The tent is an REI kingdom 8 with a garage and it also goes on the bikes.

Sturgis, 2008 at Lamphere Campground. It rained a bit that first evening.
I've done quite a bit of camping off the bike, it's easier with the Road Glide than the Super Glide, obviously because it's set up to haul more. I did Sturgis one year on my old Wide Glide, so it can be done on a Dyna. Even on the WG, I was able to haul a 3 man tent, queen size air mattress (& pump), sleeping bag, leathers, and 3 days worth of clothes. A T-Bag really helps out if you don't have a bike with a Tour Pak.
Like others have already said, backpacking gear is your friend, though you don't necessarily need the high buck, super light stuff. I've really never camped anywhere I needed to haul food or cooking gear.
