Bag for Interstate Hondaline luggage rack recommendations

[ShiftHappens]

I have a 1999 interstate with a Hondaline luggage rack on the trunk. It measures 15 wide and 9 deep.  I am looking for a bag that will fit on trunk luggage rack that has side pockets for small items as well as keep everything dry and strap on securely.

I like the look of the Hopnel 4-603, but it seems too big on the specs and there isn't a local dealer to try one on for size. I am looking for recommendations.

Most HD dealers have a line of bags you can try out. Kuryaken makes some nice bags. Same with T-bag.

HD has MOST things we need!  Honda has almost none.  T-Bags are nice.

I picked up the Hopnel bag and it seems to fit good. The back hangs over about 1 inch and if you expand the side pockets they will just fit between the antennaes. All in all I am happy with it.

I have a big B4 leather bag, and several others as well.  None are bike specific, and none are waterproof.  I carry a heavy gauge lawn and leaf bag in a side pocket.  If it more than sprinkles, I bag my bag, tucking the floppy edges underneath the best I can.  A big cargo net works better than two bungies.  It looks pretty tobacco road, but it works.

I would be reluctant to pay the premium for a motorcycle-specific luggage rack bag.... that was not waterproof.  Most standard cordura nylon bike luggage is water resistant, but not waterproof.  Hours on the road in driving rain, and everything in that bag is soaked. 

However, some do come with attached, pull-out rain covers.

A decent alternative is super waterproof Dry Bags. Takes some practice packing (rolling) clothes so they aren't wrinkled to hell, but they work and are not expensive.

I have one similar to this and like it. This is for a Goldwing, but will PROBABLY fit your rack. I have NO connection with this seller  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp=mtr&item=121155850755

Thanks for the replies. I ended up going with a Dowco Iron Rider overnight bag. It fits great and I secured with 2 ROK straps 5/8" size. I plan to keep my heated gear in when not using and and other light weight items.
