How hardcore of touring? Max Morley HD'd his out with boneyard parts and some junk off my stocker (fender rails, sissybar).
You can get Harley's 1950s luggage racks, new, from V-Twin Manufacturing and adapt them to your bike. Instant Tour-Pac mount. Add some repop bubble top bags fairly easily or some boneyard hard bags designed for KH or XL Harleys. They aren't huge, but they look great.
I use semi-rigid saddlebags (Saddleman Desperado), a River Road small semi-rigid tool pouch and a day pack. Can carry a week worth of socks, t-shirts, tools, a few spare pieces (oil, lights, plugs) a couple six packs and a bunch of MREs (I'm a tightwad). Tent, sleeping pad/bag get tied to the apehangers, using the headlight shell (7" steel sidemount, the plastic stocker broke in 98) as the bottom rest.
Sky is the limit on modding a Savage. With no real aftermarket support, anything you can make work is the right way.
