Exactly how my wife and I do it. Also, we heading into the Rockies then to some other area that we don't need winter gear, once we finish the cold stuff we find a fedex-kinkos and ship it (and everything else we bought along the way) home.
If not for winter gear, we wouldn't have needed the T-Bag (which was empty by this time in our ride):
Looks like my set up, You can also google how to pack on a motorcycle,I always learn something new, I roll my clothes in sets , saves a lot of room
http://tbags.com/ HD Rack & T-Bag. Top quality & mine is waterproof. I've found over the years the more room you have the more stuff you take & never end up using it. For me les is best. Good luck.
Cheapest way. Pack for the stops you will.be making to get to destination. Ship everything else usps or ups to the destination. Print off a return shipper and ship it all back when your leaving. Most hotels will accept and ship packages for you.

we never have a final destination,, each day is a destination,, never in the same place twice....and never in any place to long....the adventure is the road
Edit: Or just get a trike like we did. A large one of these on top of our tour pack, plus all the storage it has, we can go six days between laundry visits, and that included some nicer non-road clothes, sneakers and other stuff on a 23 day trip. We hate doing laundry on the road.

I have the RGU now, and enjoy the tour pack and a bag on the rack on top.
Having said that, on my Fatboy I used this bag from Viking. I know people have their opinions on Viking but I had the sissy bar bag... https://www.vikingbags.com/back-rest...-1540-prd1.htm
and the removable saddle bags from them and have nothing but positive things to say. No link to the saddle bags but this should be a pic of it on a trip.
