We seem to be following two lines of suggestions here, thanks to an unfortunate choice of words by Harley. I think Bill is asking about installing a permanent 'lining material' to his bags, to provide a different appearance? While later posts refer to the 'liner bags' with handles that can be used as luggage carriers and are portable. I have the premium bags and they are great things.

I just reread the OP post. I'm not sure if he was asking about Factory Liners (bags) or something to apply to the walls of the saddlebags to make a lining?
If the subject was a lining, Harley never made any kind of application to be applied to the walls of the saddlebags. Some dealers and many aftermarket companies have sold applications to line the saddlebags. That said, Harley has made saddlebag liners (bags) for use in their saddlebags. There are several aftermarket companies that also make saddlebag liners (bags) specifically made to fit the Harley saddlebags. I have had saddlebag liners (bags) but applied Pool Table felt to my Tour Pak (in the past) to line the older TPs I have had. Today I use the molded Tour Pak liner and have the Tour Pak bag when I am on trips.
So the OP has many choices from the posts here, no matter what they were asking.
I sure appreciate the suggestions. Bags would be nice but the permanent liner material as suggested by Tom would really clean things up nicely. Think I may give the speaker material a shot.
