That's a good one. They make an expandable tank bag too that is also a good choice if you want to run clean. I have a Heritage and hate using saddle bags. I prefer to run they way you're intending. You could always use a backpack for additional room. This time of the year remember, you'll be shedding clothes throughout the day. You'll need somewhere to put those bulky items. Ride safe

I have a bar bag attached now, and noticed right off the jump that it alters the airflow. Added some minor buffeting in my face. I'm 5"10 and ride a Train with stock dragbars, so it may be different on another bike. Just something to think about.

I have several bags for the bars. I used neither on the last trip, just got a bag for the sissy bar as it holds a lot more. I don't think i could fit everything i need in either roll bag, even the extended one, unless I wore the same clothes every day.

I have the Solo's and a cheapo roll bag for the back rest (quick detach) please Be Creaful, most of these things are made to attach to 'chrome' and will scratch or dull most Powder coated parts.
So take extra caution with those Nice black items on your LO that will come in touch with the bag and/or fasteners, they will shake, squeeze and vibrate and do serious damage.
