Hi Mitchell:
I've carried a laptop computer in the saddlebag of my Honda ST 1100 for over 20 years.
I just put it into a "padded laptop sleeve" - sort of like an envelope that it fits into, it has foam perhaps 1/4 of an inch thick. That has been sufficient protection, I have never had a problem.
I think that there are two concerns you need to pay attention to to avoid damage to your tablet:
1) Store it vertically, so that the screen does not become broken from something else in your luggage pressing down or up on the screen, and,
2) Put something underneath the bottom of the padded sleeve (a pair of socks will do) to provide some shock absorption in case you hit a really bad bump in the road.
The biggest risk of damage comes not from carrying it on a motorcycle and the associated movement of the motorcycle, but from the tablet being squashed and the screen broken by other objects in the same pannier or storage compartment.
