Tail Tidy + Luggage?

I installed a tail tidy (thanks RotaryRyan) because I like the way it makes my bike look.  
The problem I have now is that any luggage larger than a very small tail bag obscures the rear turn signals.  
 
Does anyone have a suggestion for luggage (tail bag or panniers) that works well with a tail tidy?  Ideally, I would like something that can fit my laptop for work so that I don't need to take a backpack.  Also, is it even possible to use side bags/panniers with a tail tidy?

Hi - I got recently SW-Motech (same as OEM Yamaha bags) saddle-bags, they work with my tail tidy.
 
Here is the link to the post: http://www.fz07.org/post/58671
 
For quick rides I use my tankbag from Hepco & Becker, takes only 30 sec to put on and it comes in different sizes depending on your needs, see post: http://www.fz07.org/post/21589.
 
I got it at   http://www.motomachines.com/
 
 
 
 

Love to ride!

I ended up having to make a hybrid tail tidy once i got my hepco and becker bags. Very happy with the bags, they fit my laptop and a lunchbag

I like what you did with this. Do you have any pictures showing the tail closer up? How did you make it?

I used the stock top section for the drop, made up a simple plate frame, and added the light from my evotech tail tidy. Here is a few closer shots, let me know if you want to see anything more specific
