An internet search for "Motorcycle Luggage" will show you many options for your setup. Just check the HD catalog for your rack and look for the weight limit. Also might want to take into account how long you plan on being on the road, the amount of STUFF you will want to take, Rain, and Heat.
Lots of packing information here on the Forum.

Thanks. Good to know. I have a sissy bar and a rider's back rest. I think there's about 12" between the two. From what that bag looks like, it should fit between the two (mounted backwards) so I could mount a smaller bag on the actual luggage rack. It's just me so I don't need to keep the passenger seat open.

cncmike, I have decided to keep the curved rack. It has a weight capacity of 83.45 lbs. That may be why the previous owner put that rack on the bike. There are a few of the expandable racks on eBay for around $250, but when I checked, their capacity is only 30lbs. The King H-D Detachables Two-Up Luggage Rack which sells for $244.95 is also only rated at a capacity of 30 lbs. I don't know why that is the case but even the installation instruction say 30 lbs.

That bag is called the Route 66 roller bag and it is made by T-Bags. I bought it and the accessory roll bag for the top for under $150. It looks like the company is out of business which is too bad because they make great bags. I have a smaller one also. After a lot of trips I found a roller bag is great to have. Also a bag that front loads instead of top loads is a plus.
