Luggage setup for touring (FLHRC)

Hi folks

Need some advice.

Mulling over how to set up my 08 FLHRC luggage wise. How much storage do you need? What setups are you using? I am kind of leaning toward getting the leather Tour Pak then maybe getting an after market large tour bag from "T-Bag" or "Kuryakyn" and somehow strapping it down on the passenger seat behind me but .....I don't know.....looks like tying down the top of the bag could be a problem. I've been scratching my head on this all afternoon. Any ideas? do's? Don'ts?

Take care

John
