Default luggage ideas with side plate

Got new Deluxe that had side mount license plate..wondering what ideas r out there on how to handle this. I usually ride two up with the misses longest ride si far 23 days do I need some packin space. My old bike had saddle bags and a double sissybar truck(big one on bottom, small on top) & tank bag...

The new bike looks like i can still do the sissybar thing...but the side plate looks to impede the saddlebags and having the gauges on top of the tank makes it hard for a tank bag...any ideas...and no Im not too much into the touring bike style although that would be a perfect fix just not my style

Seems like its either side plates or bags, may find a plate holder for the rear U like then do bags.

dude if you love the look and you gotta move the plate anyways, just get the sidemount off the left axle. then you can get ur saddlebags to fit just fine.... at the very very least a side swingarm bag.
you already have a luggage rack? man I love the T-bag... when my wife rides her own bike I flip that bag around on my passenger seat and it works for a back rest...
