I haven't looked into removable bag liners. My wife wants to make me a set with some pockets and stuff in them. Maybe this weekend....

I think liners are available to make the bags into coolers... beer & pizza any one?

p.s. the tour pack looks fantastic!

I think it looks great ... looks proportional and I am sure very utilitarian ...

It appears though as if it might interfere with full range of movement of the saddlebag lids ... you're saying it doesn't ...?

How is it mounted ...? Please post pics of the sideplates/bottom mounting setup ... links to where to get them ... or point us in the direction ...

I think it looks great.

I have the chopped one on my Streetglide. They sure are handy to throw your gear in when you make stops.

Thanks. The utility would probably be greater with a chopped pak (a king is just too big for the switchback!), but I really like the balance with this one.

The saddlebags open with zero interference. I used a "jackyl" plate. He is, or was, a member here. Here is an ebay link- http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOUR-PAK-MOU...item1e74d90336 I drilled a new set of holes in the rack so it sits lower on the bike, and I moved my pack more forward than he shows in his ad. I like it better that way. The razor pack is not a direct bolt on to this rack due to some tubular moldings on the bottom of the pack, so I made a set of brackets to allow it to mount smoothly.

I don't have the pics you are asking for, but tomorrow I disassemble it all to send it to powder coat and I will take lots of pics with measurements. This is all stuff you can do with steel from Lowes. Nothing exotic.
