I have also been using the Harley Premium Collapsible Luggage Rack Bag with no issues. I store my tent, air mattress, sleeping bag and other camping gear in it without opening up the additional expansion zipper. It also folders flat and could be stored in the tour pak without taking much room just incase you need additional storage.
The past couple of years I backup it's velcro mounting straps with a bungee strap cargo net. With the net I can strap my leather jacket and chaps on top of the bag as well with no risk of rubbing.

I don't want to ruin my paint on my tour pak... but for my next trip I have a lot of camping going on so I need to put stuff on my pak rack. One idea I have is to get a clear plastic desk protector and cut it to fit the tour pak then tie it to the rack with zip ties.
Better would be a bag made to fit the size of the rack that is stiff enough not to flop down between the rungs and mar the paint and that has tabs and snaps to tie it to the rack... with a plus if it is waterproof. Does anyone know of such a bag?

If you notice i have a net holding my bag on the rack....i guess you need the right tools for the job....i have lots of bungee cords unfortunately they sucked, hence the net.....the net will keep stuff off the paint if you use it correctly even without a bag.....
Also because we travel through many states and we like to ride without helmets, having the net affords us the added use to place our helmets on top of the bag secured by the net....
Best thing i have when traveling, yes the net ....

Nice, but too much hassle...the HD collapsable bag comes with small corner velcro attachments easy on and off....the net I use is for the states where a Helmet is not required and i place them on top of the bag, between the bag and the net.....

I have bags that fit on my tour pak rack.
The straps can mar the paint if they start flapping around.
See if you can find a local tint shop that installs the 3M protective film and have them put a piece under the rack.
I think I paid $30 to the tops of my bags so the tour pak shouldn't cost much.
