Water is heavy, so you don't really want to carry more than you will need. That said, it really sucks to run out of water. I used a dromedary bag and filled it as needed. Ideally, you would get two to help weight balance on a bike, but it is a lot cheaper to get the same capacity in one bag than two smaller bags.
If you are passing through small towns you can always buy more water, and you can often find public water fountains. If you stay at a campsite, you should be able to get water there.
Few short suggestions (my opinions):
Tools - wrenches, sockets, vice grips.
For a more complete check list see this guy's [packing list] (http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/WABDR-Packing-List)
So when it comes to keeping it under $500, don't sounds so blue as $500 can get you a longs ways if you shop around.
I am looking into purchasing this bag & MSR hydration kit

Thanks!
I was looking at one of the Jetboil systems for cooking. I cant decide if I want the Flash or one of the bigger ones. Do you have any experience with that?
For a tent I was looking at a Kelty Salida 2 person tent
For water I am not to concerned with purification. I want to start with just one night out camps, so I should be able to carry the water I need for the hike in, camp, hike out with me. I dont know if this is enough but I was looking to carry it all in a MSR Deluxe Dromedary Bag
As far as a backpack, I have no idea what I want, how to size them (if thats even important). I dont want something super large, maybe 50-70 range, so I have room to do 3-4 night stays eventually without having to buy a new bag.
