Nice find.
You will hold way more in a marine duffel bag and still have room inside for emergency kit etc when on a road trip, for a 1/3 of the price.
Pete and I put an entire week of clothes in one bag with extra shoes. Then in a smaller bag he packs toiletries. Then both wells have room for emergency stuff as well as anything we buy on a trip.
Check into those clips that screw into the grab bars. There is a cheap alternative on BurgmanUSA, They are very cool.

Cool, Burg Bag! I like the Burg Bag but wouldn't one of those water proof bags from Bass -Pro Shop work better for loading more?

REI has a great selection of dry bags. They come in various sizes and even duffles. Last time I was there, I saw really cool ones that rolled up to the size of a large braclet for storage. I will try to post a link if I can find it again. I have about 4 older dry bags for floating. Bass Pro or Cabelas would have them too but REI is closer.

Plus I just saw the Burgbag is water resistant not waterproof. Big difference.

He is dying to get a huge ass Givi Box to balance out the front.
Maybe you should just follow in the car, Rick?

Here is what my Majesty looked like when I left for a weeklong ride in Arkansas and Rt 66 in Missouri:

Between the trunk, the topcase and the yellow dry bag, I had more than enough room for all this: clothes, a 2nd pair of shoes, a two-piece rainsuit big enough for me (and I ain't petite!), a pretty good toolkit, a MANUAL air pump, notes, and a laptop computer. I still had room in the trunk to stow my helmet! I had clothes I didn't even wear (but I did wash the stuff I wanted to re-wear around people I cared about or they might have been like this ). A "stuff sack" can be your friend. Put everything that doesn't mind getting wrinkled in it, pull on the straps, and it magically shrinks to half the size (but not half the weight ). Like others have said, a dry bag is a great way to go. The split seat on the Majesty is tailor-made for this setup--you don't have to remove the bag to get into the trunk.
Part of the fun of getting "stuff" for your (bike, boat, whatever) is looking "outside the box" for the things you need. Look in the camping/kayaking/boating/RV aisles and stores; often, better gear can be had at less cost than "motorcycle only" gear.
