I bought the detachable luggage rack and HD tour bag set. you can see in the bigger bag in the pic below but it also comes with a smaller bag so it was two bags in one deal. I think the bag package was around $225.
These work great for me last weekend during my mountain trip. I was able to get me and the wife's stuff in there for a 3 day trip to the mountains last weekend.

We use the T-bag also. Rolling your clothes seems to be the best way to get more in your bags. We also take the time to put rubber bands around the clothes after rolling them. Seems to keep them from expanding and taking up more room. Wash dirty clothes at motels along the way or just like others have said, mail them home.

I have a Nelson Rigg GWR 1000, because it's kind of a "hard bag." (It's actually a "soft" bag with harder foam sides to keep it's shape.) Buddy of mine has a soft bag on his Tour Pak, and I like the harder sides better. I usually just take a grocery bag, or a heavier larger plastic bag, for dirty underwear & socks, but other than that, just pack tight so things don't slide around.

I tour without a passenger, 3-5 days and use the Kuryakyn Gran Tour bag. Very versatile and well made piece of luggage, comes with loads of straps for either under the passenger pillion, or the luggage rack and they include a rain cover. I have a detachable passenger backrest and usually mount the bag on the pillion - the backrest "pillow" is adjustable with velcro, and it is great for those 500+ mile days!
