Luggage options?
I've had the Superhawk for about a month now and I'm planning on a weekend trip with it. Until now a small backpack has done well for the short trips I've taken but I need room for more stuff. What are some of the solutions that people are using for a two to three day trip.
Thanks

I use an expandable tank bag and a tail pack that sits on the back seat. Been plenty fine for weekend trips.
Here's an old tip I picked up from someone or somewhere, pack your old, about to be thrown out anyway, underwear and socks... after you use them, throw them out. Your gear will end up lighter on the ride home.

Re: Luggage options?
I just got this:

It kicks *** big time. Doesn't get in your way on the tank (contured for you to lean over it) and it can fit inside your helmet when you hit the bar.

Re: Luggage options?
Here's what I did for a recent 3 & 1/2 day 1650 mile trip. More than enough room plus some. I've done 7 days with the same setup with careful packing (I'm also one who will discard the undeee's).
The front magnetic tank bag opens up even more (taller) than pictured and will carry a full face helmet plus some. The rear bag is a $14 cooler from walmart with a semi-rigid plastic internal case and external pockets; plus it's waterproof. Get to your destination, unpack it, and viola` it's now your beverage cooler for hanging out! 8) I use a ratch style tie down run under the seat to secure it (very, very secure!).
With my RC51 pipes and before that 2 bros highmounts, I couldn't run saddlebags.
