Go to any large sporting goods store. Back in the straps/tie downs etc... you will find these

They work great. This is all I use to strap by luggage on with. Been using them for years with no problems.

I'm never going to suggest overloading your equipment, but I've had probably 40# on the same rack many times on sportsters, with great success. Duffels work fine, but purpose-built motorcycle bags just do the job so much easier. I chose Iron Rider bags for their ease of use, and have had the same bags on two sportsters, a road king, and now my Dyna Switchback. One smaller bag if I'm solo, A big one with the smaller one strapped to the top of it if the wife is with me.
There are tons of bags you can get. Built in lashing straps, a rigid bottom to keep shape on the rack/seat, and custom rain covers make them worth the money. $100 on my main bag, and it's been great for about 7 years, and still works like new.
