Are they glued Velcro or just fitted in?

I've had two Street Glides. First "mod" - saddlebag liners. Like others have mentioned, wait until your Dealer has a sale. I picked up both pair for 20% off.

They are formed to "fit" in the saddlebag. There are (I believe), 4 small peel and stick pieces of self adhesive velcro (for each saddlebag), which are used to basically keep the liners from moving around. Install is about 5-minutes per bag.

I bought the ones from Drag Specialties for about $60.

Op, I went to WalMart and bought a roll of auto replacement carpet for about $10. I removed the lids and made patterns of each side of the saddlebag (5 total counting the bottom) and then cut the carpet to the pattern. Using contact glue, glued each piece to the sides of the bag trimming to fit. It took me an afternoon to complete but only cost me the $10. I had the glue already. It made a huge difference and looks great.

Awww, that explains it! I took the old towel out of my '79, put it in my '08 and just recently moved it my '12. I wonder if that's ok or if I have to buy a new towel. It appears to work just as well, but I don't want to take a chance of scratching my tools or the snaps and zippers on my leathers and chaps.

I got the ones from Drag Spec. I chose these because the are NOT 1/4" thick costing 1/2" space lost. The pieces are pre-cut peel and stick and stretchable so when applying if your off by a little... just pull a little and then press. Any overlap can be trimmed with a razor. Kit also has a form fitted bottom foam for a smooth finished cushion. With a little finesse it makes a clean smooth look to the inside including underside of lid. They are thin enough that I could most likely add the removable HD liners as well if I wanted to. So far the only thing you have to watch is if you throw something in the bag that has velcro loops (gloves)...it will want to cling to the liner fuzz. Close any velcro up and no issue. Looks like the clean look you would find inside a trunk of a new car.

I too have them in mine (the HD ones). Very happy with them. Yes, they are spendy and Yes, they do take up a touch of room but all in all I am VERY happy with them. The quality is great and they can be taken out really easy. Each new bike I get the liners get swapped to the new one. I dont think I would have hard bags without them.
