Default T-Bag and solo saddle.

OK, here's what I'm thinking........I plan on some weekend trips to my friends boat in Bayfield, WI, and I need some advice. I prefer tousemy Mustang solo seat for obvious reasons, but I'm thinking of picking up one of the larger T-Bags to slip over the detachable sissy bar. I do have the luggage rack that sits on the fender behind the solo seat. I also have the large 2-up detachable luggage rack for the rear.
While still using the solo saddle, wouldn't I still be able to mount the T-bag backwards on the sissy barso it's resting on the fender luggage rack, and still strap a sleeping bag to the larger rear rack?
Thanks for any input,

I'm setting my 07 SG up solo as you are. Got the Motherwell's rack for the rear fender. Put the T-bag on backwards so it rests on the luggage rack and use it as a backrest. I did'nt want the rear rack so I mount a sleeping back to the top of the T-bag. Works great!

Here's my solo set up. The last photo shows the Mother Well rack on the left and the Harley Davidson solo rack on the right. Neither one would give me the supportI wanted to carry bulky items. For example, the dry bag would sag and hit the saddles bag lids. So I made my own and mounted it to a solo tour pack detachable rack (minus the tour pack). It works for me.

Just an update.........
I did get the universal expandable T-bag from M&Mcycles and it works great. I also picked up a Tour Pac Bag from Canvasworks Inc out of Montrose, MN for the 2-up rack. It's pretty big so it holds my sleeping bag and pillow. Will post pics later.
