I know many riders do it, but NEVER again will I use the pillion seat for luggage space,  made the trip so uncomfortable, getting on and off the bike was a PITA.
On a 125 Yam I have used for trips I have a pair of 'bike bins' plastic panniers Bikebins - British Born British Made
And by using a universal mounting frame loops(Touratech) on all my other bikes, so the panniers are interchangeable I use Ardcases
ARDcases | Bespoke Motorcycle Luggage I have a pair of the 8" wide, 34litre ones unbeatable price and service, if you already have mounting loops, give Roger a ring, explain the make of loop you have, and hopefully a ride to his place will see him fit them for you.
I went up there from London and received great service and honestly can't reccommend him enough.
I find that there is plenty of room with the Ardcases, with space to spare for 'duty free' or should that now be 'tax paid' items.
