I like drybags from Northwest River Supply (NRS) which can be found online. The bags are well under $100 and are pretty weather proof when the top is rolled properly.

Heck, Here's a link

kip and Nboon:

Many thanks to both of you for the product info.  Looks like affordable, quality gear that will get me there and back.   Switching from a R1200C to the R1200GS has definitely changed my world.  I'm getting psyched for the rides I want to take in the spring; meanwhile, I'm waiting for the next warm spell to hit the Black Hills, so I can run up some miles on "Tweety Bird."  Take care!

this bag along with the full set of bmw panners kept me on the road for a month earlier this fall.  In the top pic we have aself inflatable ground pad,a single man tent on the right, 3lbs, a 20f sleeping bag near the front, and the trail mix can represent my pillow.

the mag and smoks are a referencve to scale size, the largew white bag is the rain cover for the whole thing. I belive the baf was on sale a cycle world for 80 bucks, and the tent, bag, pillow, and pad all ran me under a hundred at Gander Mnt. with all three hard  bags full and this baby packed  tight, I probably added a 100 lbs, the bike never flinched. the camping gear was all bungied on the sidss and tops of heard cases. This bag as shown in bottom pic was extended all the way andtayed steady attached to the passenger seat. Made a fine back rest also.

I've been an avid backpacker for many years, so I have good lightweight camping gear, but until I read your posting, I hadn't really thought about a pack for the bike.  I like the verstility.  I might just want to park my bike for a sightseeing hike out in the boonies, and it would be good to have a small pack to carry the essentials.  Thanks for the tip.
