Sounds like you're better off with the reckless bag from Mosko Moto then. I wouldn't bolt any hard luggage on a light bike. Particularly on a small bike. The whole advantage is that they're lighter so you can ride more aggressive routes. Sandy tracks for example. With those you'd need to place your weight further back which you won't with a hard luggage. It's also a hazard hitting potholes or stuff like that when the rear kicks you up in the arse. The rebound on these isn't great to begin with to keep that from happening.
The added advantage to this arrangement is that you can loose the racks which turn a nimble bike into a tight rope walker. Keeping it tucked in is everything. You can reduce the impact of the effective mass by over half.
