Nelson Rigg soft saddlebags are a good, inexpensive option. They have a lifetime guarantee IF you keep the receipt. I used these on my Trans America trail ride. Only problem I found is the straps and buckles, the straps are too thin, and the buckles break easy. My buddy and I both used these, and we both sheared off straps everytime our bikes took a nap. By the end, with many bungie straps, they made it home. I sent them back to NR explaining what had happened in hopes they would go with tougher straps and buckles, but they just sent me another set. That was nice of them, but the attachment system needs upgraded.
