Suggestions for trip luggage, etc

[dookers]

I have a 2009 FXDC Dyna Super Glide with forward controls.
I would appreciate suggestions on which baggage accessories (part numbers and sources) riders would suggest for a 1500 mi road trip. I plan on installing a touring seat and rear backrest with standard luggage rack. I am going solo. I am not going camping - I just want to carry clothes and a few tools. I feel like wider foot pegs might be the answer to the insecure feeling I get on a long cruise at highway speeds.
Any and all comments on favorite parts will be appreciated.

I have a t-bag from the states its great and water proof.

And for extended trips I also have a set of saddle bags.

The buckles aren't quite perfect, but not too bad...

T-bag, highway bars, and a tool roll up front...depending on your bar set up, if you put the bag behind you (in the passenger seat), you can lean back on it.

I have Boss bags, a touring seat/rack, and the Kuryakan Full Dresser tour pack. My girlfriend and I just went camping and fit tent/sleeping bags/pads/clothes/cook kit/food everything (and her!) on my Dyna. It rode real solid with that tour pack -- it's the single best high capacity piece of luggage I've seen. The Boss bags have straps across the tops that you can attach more straps to for things like sleeping bags/tents/bed roll....

I'd get a windshield if you don't have one, that cuts WAY down on rider fatigue. A Windvest works great..

Which windshield and seat are you using in the photo?
Thanks,

I bought from Motherwell products their luggage rack that fits on the back fender. I did a 1000 mile trip in July with 1 duffel bag strapped to it and it held up like a champ! If you don't have a rear seat, check it out.

What ever bag you decide on, I suggest that you line the inside of the bag with a large plastic trash bag so the contents won't get wet if you get any rain. Also, I use Frogg Toggs as my rain gear. I have had the same pair for 5 years and keep 100% dry and they will breathe if it is a little warm when wearing them. They pack into a very small holder that comes with the gear, as space is important on a m/c.

Also, get a couple of small grocery bags you get at the store and slip those over your boots prior to pulling the rain pants on. The grocery bags keep any debris on your boots from getting on the inside of the legs and your boots will slip through the legs without any resistance. If you loose one, all you have to do is stop by any store and get new ones.

I thank everybody for terrific information.
One more thing - any opinions on the use of a tire plugging/inflating kit for being stranded in the middle of nowhere? These can't possibly work on a tire with tube inside can they? (as in spoke wheels). Is there any other option for an emergency repair that does not require removing a spoke wheel?

Good tow service, a cell phone and a lot of time. Seriously.
