What I recommend after 7000 or so miles are the Tbird originals and a cheap flight case.

Rigg Pak Sissybar bag Dayrunner CTB350
Great bit of kit, this has enough capacity to last me for a week. I have hard bags also but prefer to ride without if I can. Also ride solo most of the time so sit the bag on rear seat or fender rack. It will fit on the sissybar rack no problem.

The roll bag I bought further on into the trip after I left Daytona, had to have something to put all my new t-shirts in, it is also a T-Bag product. They both come with plastic rain covers.
This set up held a lot, including shoes and laptop and several changes of clotheds. The big bag has 2 zippered pockets on each side and it also has wheels and a pull out handle to move it around once you take it off the bike.
I know the Corbins aren't made for the T-Bird but I was just addressing the luggage rack usage. This way you could also carry a passenger as well.

Hi Woody, it's the Channel Tunnel. Very efficient and not too expensive but it is quite a ride from where I live at the moment. I have two options to get to mainland Europe, over (or under) the English Channel to France or across the North Sea to Belguim or Holland. I prefer the overnight boat to Zeebrugge, Belgium. Going to Slovenia via Zeebrugge on a 9 county tour (including Triday (Triumph Day) in Austria) in June. Every year I get my wonderlust satisfied with a big tour. Started with just 2 of us, this year 10 have already booked up.

Are you planning to use Traveller-HD with pillion seat on or on tubular rack? I found one place on Ebay, that sells it with quite reasonable price compared to Finnish stores and I'm planning to get one if I can sort out to what I'm planting it on. Link
Edit : What a coincidence! Store is located in Limburg, Germany and that's exactly where I am heading 29th of november
