I have used a riggpac ( http://www.nelsonrigg.com/pages/Crui...950-Big.htmfor ) a couple of years, even in poring rain no leaks, plenty of room. I even use it for a suit case when traveling for work

My OL and I each have the Route 66 made by T-Bags. Absolutely no complaints on their quality. http://www.tbags.com/detail.aspx?ID=12&SelectedCat=4

Go to the Harley Davidson website and check out P/N 94734-09 in the luggage section. They fit the HD quick detach passenger backrest and luggage rack and the attaching system snugs down tightly and it only takes seconds in secure and unsecure. Plenty of room in both bags, the smaller one can be used as a drink cooler (a liner is provided for ice). THey've been used in the driving rain more than once and all my contents stayed dry. They are made by a company called SAC and they stand behind their products 100%, but I haven't ever had any problems with them. I am really pleased with them. By the way, I paid way less than MSRP for them which made me even happier.

I use a T-Bag. Can't remember the model, but it's expandable and has plenty of room for a week's worth of cothes. No leaks, mounts easily and is sturdy. No complaints at all. I rode through rain and had no leaks, but I always keep a garbage bag and a bungee just in case.

Saturday Night Special - When I bought mine, I got them through M and M Cycles (https://www.mandmcycles.com). I just did a check on Zanotti (http://www.zanottimotor.com/) and Suburban (http://www.suburbanharley.com/) and they cost even less. You may pay shipping but with the lower price it's still better than MSRP and local taxes at the dealer, unless they are on sale. Shop around - plug the P/N in a search engine. Good Luck !

a good quality nylon cordora duffel bag you can pick up at a good sporting good store is what I use if it all won't fit in the saddlebags. Bought a mini quick release rack and was able to carry everything I needed for a two week+ trip to Sturgis including leathers and spare shoes, ect.
