Touring luggage for Rocker?
I just ordered a Rocker C, and am figuring out what's the best luggage/bag setup for touring with it. It's mainly for cruising, but I plan to make the occasional road trip. I ordered it with the detachable saddle bags, but that's not enough for long-haul trips.
My local dealer has custom made a very nice passenger seat with (Deuce) backrest to another customer which I'm considering. This attaches where the standard trick seat goes, and would allow for a T-Bag on it. I asked if they could make one with a luggage rack so I could have a passenger, but they were skeptical of its capacity.
Other than saddle bags, T-Bags and backpack (which I hate), are there any other luggage options out there?
And getting another or a second bike is not an option.

I started of with a cruiser(Deuce) but i found i preferred touring. no matter what i added to the bike it would never be a comfortable or practical touring bike. so i sold it off and got the ultra. now i have all the room and creature comforts that i could want. i know this doesnt help but it will give you something to think about.

The touring strut seems like a pretty good solution, as long as it is detachable without too much hassle. Have to contact the manufacturer to see if it fits the C - shouldn't be an issue, and it looks like I wouldn't have to mod the original seat.
I'm definitely interested in the pics, Whatyardwork!
