Thanks for the tips guys. I appreciate it! Dreamer, You sure you don't live down the street from me? There is a guy with a bike just like yours, but I think he has some massive beach bars though.

Have you checked Kriega bags? http://www.kriega.us/us20-motorcycle-bag-luggage/
US-20 is good size. costs around $100 and is 100% waterproof.
Good thig about them is that they are modular. You can stick several smaller bags like US-10 or US-5 on top

We did a 2000 mile trip last month and was looking for a decent bag. As we was going to Daytona for BikeOctoberfest we stopped in at White Eagles and brought the one shown on my bike below.
The top rollbag just unclips so it up to you if you want to use it or not. The bag itself is well made and constructed of heavy leather. It attaches by two wide velco straps around the backrest, I also attach a luggage strap each side to hold it firmly in place. I was amazed at just how 'stuff' we could get in it, and the best bit... after a bit of bartering got it for $70, I call that a result!

One other thing, in the back pocket is a rain cover that completely covers the bag (and the rollbag) and works very well, don't ask how I know !
Looks a bit crooked , but its the way the pic been taken

Hey folks. Didn't really know where to ask this question, but figured this is where the experts would be.
Looking for a bag to fit on my RK. Something that will attach to the sissy bar and sit on the luggage rack. Also want it to remain comfortable for the wife to lean back on the backrest so the straps have to be comfortable for her to lean against.
I don't need a huge back and certainly don't want something that is going to be super top heavy.
On our trip to San Angelo this past Monday and Tuesday, a friend loaned us a roll bag that the end opened up on. It was nice and saved our bacon because is allowed me to pack warmer jackets in the hard bags than we'd originally planned on. Good thing we did. But it's not quite roomy enough for things you'd take for anything more than an overnighter.
What are your recommendations? Please keep in mind I'd like to stay around $100.00 or less if at all possible.
