I have a more global view. In addition to the bike, I want a bag that will be good when I want to hike in a mile or so, to photograph some birds.
I use the Tamrac Adventure and I have an exterior pouch for my circular polarizers that has stayed on during triple digit long tours.
Here's mine Forgive the brown taped tarp - someone stole my gear bag from a laundermat. good thing I had a tent tarp.
Thats pretty much how my setup is for the Airhead since I have two part tankbag with big magnets on the side and it has a strap that goes around the steering stem so it can't fall off. I put a towel in the bottom of the bag covered by a sheet of plastic so water can't soak in from the bottom if its raining. I took the velcro dividers from an old camera bag and got some sticky-back velrco strips attached inside the bag to make compartments to hold slr with 50mm lens and two more for the other two lens. Plus the two-part bag has shoulder straps on the upper bag part so I can remove it and carry it with me as a small back pack. Nice arrangement.
On the LT I have to settle for the regular camera bag in the trunk, padded with a towel since the tankbag won't work on the plastic $%^&@# tupperware. Or now with the G9 I may just leave the slr at home for day rides unless I know I'm going places where I can park my highway pig comfortably to get to the slr. The G9 rides in the little tank bag up front for shots where I can't get off the bike which is fairly often since I mostly wonder 2-lane back roads with little or no shoulder.
