I pack light like the Marine I am: Three sets of clothing (one on your back), one pair of non-bike shoes, a hat and hygene items. Maybe an extra tee shirt and shorts for under your riding gear on hot days. There are laundry mats everywhere, and most hotels have amenites. It should fit in one duffle that goes in the saddlebag. Plan so your items can be mixed-n-matched.
Please don't spook the road-sheep.
Because I do not want the Marine in Terri to beat me up...I will lay off the jokes about mixing and matching the clothes.
I carry even less clothes than that, as I carry only two sets of the LDComfort underclothes (wearing one set), and the other set is packed.

Peter Egan had a good idea I've used on long rides.
Pack your oldest underwear, socks and shirts. Throw them out and buy new on the trip.
Gumby, I believe that what Peter Egan actually suggested was to pack...and use...your oldest underwear, socks, and t-shirts, and after use, throw them out...and then buy new ones AFTER the ride, when you are back home.
Otherwise, you would spend a large amount of time while on the trip buying new clothes, and having to pack them into your bike.
This is an old IronButt Rally trick. Lighten the load as you go. Use up old clothing, leave it behind after you use it, and it lightens the packing load during an 11 day IBR event. Once back home, and your mind comes back to you (after the 11 day ride), then buy new clothes.
Add a day bag to the rear rack.....
