Looking to carry lunch, a large thermos of coffee, pair of boots, pants and shirt in a smaller carrier, roughly the size of a cereal box, half thickness, a dop bag, and a few other small things. As it stands now the American Kargo Trooper (http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/american-kargo-trooper-backpack) is a bit small, and the Kelty Strike 37 (http://www.kelty.com/p-263-strike-37.aspx?category=backpacks) is proportioned funny, the capacity isn're readily available for my items.

The Kelty seems to taper off and nothing of use fits up top and it's a pain to load. The AC works well, has a tri-zip top that just doesn't seem to carry enough. It is also slightly off in shape that carrying said items seems to suck just enough for me to hate it.

I was hoping it would have been something a tour pack could be mounted to. That's a lot of gear to be in a back pack on a street fighter style bike.

Don't want a tour pack for commuting to work. The contents aren't too cumbersome now but I can certainly get a pack better suited for it.

http://m.mechanix.com/gear-bag. Same size as the kargo trooper but its a duffel bag style backpack that would have no problem meeting your requirements.

That's kinda what I was thinking. R30 perhaps.

I have the r20 with the cube and it will be too small for what you need unless you added a dry pack for your clothes. I rode a duc 848evo as my primary trans for 4 years in Hawai'i but it was stolen 2 months ago here in Seattle. The Kriega def holds up well, still looks new and fits just right when in a sport riding position. I'll pm you some gear I have since I don't plan on buying another bike for a while. Riding in the wet is fine but wet and cold really sucks, haha.

Research backcountry ski packs or out of bounds type packs, They tend to be slim and minimalistic especially "out of bounds style ski packs" so they won't snag or push the wearer of a chair lift

Another vote for Kriega.

Their harness system is super easy to get on and off while wearing motorcycle gear and it does not restrict movement while you're riding.
