You might want to take a look at http://www.rocketlocker.com
What you describe is exactly what their product does. Its essentially a
"tankbag" that mounts on the pillion seat via a rather cool (and patented)
mechanism secured to the underpinnings of the seat, and thus does not use
straps, bungee cords, or anything that would come in contact with the bike's
bodywork.

I dunno how much stuff you carry, but you might want to take a look at this
also: http://www.speed-pac.com
It is a hardshell backpack with straps that can be used to mount it such
that it serves as a tankbag. I'm no engineer, but its profile looks
aerodynamic and would create minimal turbulence. The downside is that it has
a very limited carrying capacity.
