Gina, I bet you don't pack any rain gear for those 4 days jaunts! When I traveled with the triumph purses, 75% of their capacity was used for rain gear. Riding with my wife, makes for two sets of rain gear. I could see using one saddlebag for rain gear in your case, with a bit of room on top for an odd item or two. Yet riding solo, the saddlebags can be small, as the pillion area can accommodate any size duffel bag or such. No need for a sissy bar or luggage rack.

What I could do to overcome the fact that they are not really removable is to get two canvas bags to put into them.
Patrick, with a thumb screw that Brent sells, the pillion is quite easily removed and the saddlebags too. With a yoke, ya can toss the saddlebags over your shoulder and carry in the pillion pad as well. (Just be sure to say Howdy Folks, when entering the lobby!)
Another thing to consider is, do you really want to leave your saddle bags outside the hotel room? When I had the purses on Vera, I could off load her purses and pillion pad in less than three minutes.
If you ever buy a corbin pillion pad, forget about throwover saddlebags. Not enough room under Corbin's pad for the saddlebag's yoke. And forget about the thumb screw, again not enough clearance for it either.
