Obviously a magnetic tank bag won't work. What are you guys using? Tank bags, tail bags, etc? Maybe even soft enduro type saddle bags? I picked up an extra passenger seat and plan on drilling it to mount a Kriega US-5 but before I do I'm still looking for inspiration.

I don't use it much, but a tank bag strapped onto the tail works good. There are several sizes and designs, and I got a medium sized bag that only holds essentials like sun glasses, gloves and cold weather gear. Anything more goes in a backpack. Look on eBay for lightly usedbags and good deals.

The basic Ventura luggage solution starts with L-brackets for the EBR SX/RX and optional grab handle for a passenger.
1384
The grab handle can be swapped for a useful rack:
1385
The rack can be swapped for a taller rack which supports the 51 liter bike-pack which is shown to accommodate a passenger as follows:
1387
1386
Or if one wants to just run throw-over bags like Chase Harper Stealth, it's best to cap off the L-brackets with 3/4" plastic end caps from Home Depot for a finished look as follows:
1388
1389
And if one wants to add a tail bag to complement the Stealth bags, strap a Firebolt Tail Bag to the pillion seat.
1390
But if one wants to carry a passenger and retain the saddle bags, swap the Firebolt Tail Bag for the grab handle.
1391
So, if riding solo with full luggage capacity, try this setup. And if carrying a passenger, put the 51 liter bag facing backwards over the rack.

I've got a magnetic tank bag on mine. Works great, and when you remove the bag there is no hardware to show.

Then I used an inexpensive universal saddlebag bar setup...

...and used the same OGIO saddlebags that EBR was working on.

I'd be careful overloading the tail section with a large pack + passenger. I believe a certain EBR engineer warned against this due to the amount of the weight the subframe can hold.

What type of windscreen is that? I am currently looking for one that is clean & simple.

I very much like your pannier setup and have no desire for a tail bag. Did you incorporate the ventura L bracket kit to support the chase panniers in any way?
