I have the Harley bag and like it alot. Use it for gloves, water, etrc.
I bought a bike without any touring items at all so it works well and keeps the look. When I need to carry more I have a detachable back-rest and back-rest bag.

I would worry about adding too much weight to the swing arm of the bike. Thats unsprung weight and ask any performance vehicle enthusiast. The lower the unsprung weight (weight of tires, wheels, suspension, brakes, etc.) the better the handling. I would think adding to much weight could be dangerous or atleast affect how the bike behaves in a corner.

I've got one. Yeah, it ain't huge but totally serves its purpose. When I need to haul stuff, the detachable bags go on. But most of the time, all I need is a place for gloves, hat, ipad.
$140 at Zanotti's.
