Here are some pictures of my bike on [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10076]my recent 7,000+ kilometre ride that involved some camping at the Australia MotoGP and elsewhere. My rig is pretty straight forward. I've a Givi 35 litre top box in which I store things like wets and other gear I may need to get at very quickly. Then I have two SW-Motech Bags Connection dry bags. One is 60 litres; the other 30 litres. I put all my camping gear (except the groundsheet when it's wet) in the larger bag and my clothes in the smaller bag. This trip was complicated and I needed more gear and options than I might otherwise want. Ordinarily, I'm pretty sure I'll be able get everything—clothes and camping gear—into the single larger bag. I'll pack my clothes into a seperate, light weight, dry bag.

The SW-Motech bags come with webbing straps that tie to the bike and simply clip on to the bag making mounting relatively easy and quick. I prefer it to bungee cords or Rok Straps, although you do have to spend a bit of time tying down loose ends.
