When I go on my trip this summer I will take a pic of mine. I have Boss Bags (the '36' size... holds 36 beers each supposedly) and I put the light rolls on top of the bags (dome tent and self inflating pad) and if I'm feeling like I need to bring the kitchen sink, I inlude a sleeping bag and an over the sissy bar large bag. Otherwise I just use a day bag with a vinyl liner to put my electronic crap in, along with anything else there is room for. In the summer, I would rather use the space for a light leather jacket and chaps than a sleeping bag, however, because with a tent and a ground pad if it gets cold/cool out at night I can sleep in my leathers. I also bring along my tool kit and that Harley 'travel roll' that was a give away a few years ago. It includes one of those space age shiny high insulating blankets, flash light, extra bulbs, extra turn signal lenses, a kickstand pad, etc.
For camping the kickstand pad is important because overnight your bike can sink in pretty far.
I also bring a long 1/2" cable lock that I can wrap around the bike and a tree close enough to the tent that I can hit the ground running with my trusty Ruger in hand if I hear a chain saw, torch, or a really big guy with a cable cutter, etc.
I pick up the beers just before I set up the tent. I stay at a motel once every four days or so, so I can ride on clean shorts.
