Here is a photo of my R80G/S at the start of a trans-Africa trip, just about everything is in two panniers, a tank bag and a small bag on the back rack. This includes tent, matt, sleeping bag, cooking equipment, spare, clothes, everything needed for the trip and nothing forgotten.
I usually put stuff in the tank bag I would want to take if leaving the bike, documents, camera and stuff in a cheap rucksack that I would not mind loosing, although I hope it does not get stolen.
It is not just what you take but how you pack it and this will take a couple of weeks to sort itself out, I have been on the road a week here in Canada with a different set up and am still changing my packing to get it better.
