I'm missing the straps with the quick release buckles but I just use a couple of bungee chords to secure it to the Motherwell rack.

I was looking at the Bikers Friend bags. They are EXPENSIVE and after seeing that they sent one out with a hole, doens't say too much for their quality control.
I have a few different bags, I like the Willie & Max (see link above) for an everyday bag. Perfect size, looks like it was made for the bike. I can fold my heavy leather jacket and get it in the bag along with gloves. I can get a 1/2 helmet in there but not with the jacket.
It's faux leather but honestly looks real. It was rained on all night once while traveling and it did not damage it at all or change it looks. I'm very happy with it.
I also have a couple different t-bags for really long trips. Their quality and customer service is great. The zipper broke on one of the bags that I had for about 3 years. I sent it back to them and they sent me a brand new bag. T-Bags have lifetime warranty.

Mounting
I got the Kuryakyn custom roll bag. I use the motherwell when it's cold and have the windshield on, but right now I have the bare fender with it up on the bars. I didn't an overnighter camping trip 2 weekends ago and was just fine on the handle bars.
Here's on the Motherwell.
Here's on the bars
And here was camping trip Had snacks, 2 one liter water, shirt, undies, tools in the roll bag with the tent strapped to the d-rings built into the bag and then on the mother well I had the sleeping bag and my jacket bungeed.

When you mounted the bags to your forks, how did they stay in place? Is the bag equipped with straps to use on the forks, or is this a rigged bungee cord set up?

Just got a Kury mini grantour bag for Fathers Day and I love it. I have the motherwell rack and I can lay it on the rack or put it on the backrest when I change seats. It unzips from the mounting part and has backpack straps to carry with you. This is the best\most useful bag I have ever owned.

I just got a 7" Motherwell solo luggage rack. I am looking for a small-ish bag for it, something inexpensive and preferably waterproof.
I have a small trip coming up for an overnight to an out-of-state wedding, need to take clothes and such.
Other than this trip, I'd like to be able to keep daily stuff in it, like my rain gear and sweatshirt when it gets cool. I currently carry around a shoulder-strap large Timbuktu messenger bag for this, but I'm tired of having it on me, rather have it on the bike.
I don't care about a backrest-type bag, just a bag that looks good on the street bob and it reliable. Recommendations?

Try this: Bandit's Bedroll.....you can see it at Bandit's Bikernet. I've been meaning to get one; looks like it would hold several days worth of stuff plus has an integrated tool pouch. Mounts to the handlebars but you could prolly strap it pretty much anywhere. There's also a smaller version called the Dayroll that still has the tool flap built in . I can't link to bandit's site cuz I'm at work and it's blocked....but here's a link to an article about it in Cycle Source
