I used a Nelson Long Flap for 2500 miles of very light touring. I instigated the thought amongst our group of sleeping in cheap motels and eating in the diner counterparts rather than buying dedicated touring equipment (including bikes) and staying "outside of town" everywhere we ended our day's riding. More fun being amongst the locals. Large Saddleback should be just fine.
