I also bought a set of saddle bags, tied together with pair of adjustable welcro straps. First strap goes in front of windshield, second across tank, and secured with bungie straps to roll bar of my PD. Plenty of room for knees, also wind protection.
Here is my bike fully loaded.

Bike Butler
For holding your water while driving in hot areas, this may be a nice solution. The Bike Butler ( Butler - The Extreme Mug Holding System by Glass Act)
I saw a couple of them on a GoldWing rally but I'm sure they'll fit other bikes too.
At that rally I talked to the people who made it and they are bikeriders too so they know what they are talking about.

Modification for Touratech tank panniers
FYI
We have a set of the Touratech tank panniers and are looking at modifying them by attaching a piece of velcro on the side of each pannier and then having the matching velcro loop over the top of the tank joining the two panniers. The idea being to take some of the stress off the zips and the stitching on the panniers. We did not have them packed with a lot of heavy items but found that one had a small tear in the corner not long after starting our trip.
It may be an option for other cloth panniers as well

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
