Default Saddlebag inserts?

I recently picked up a 2016 Heritage Softail Classic Before the saddlebags start to sag I'd like to get some inserts to help them keep their shape. Does anybody know if there are inserts available or will I have to make my own?

You have a 2016. One of the changes for 2016 was reenforced saddlebags. They aren't going to sag, and if they do, it will be very minimal.

Saggy Bags makes products for older models.

Search the forum for "GotSaggyBags", you'll find many threads on the subject but I think Prot's correct in that I also thought the 2016 bags were made not to sag.

If your bike is not a 2016, then it is a good idea to insert the bag supports. I bought a 2005 Heritage a year ago, and I had the Saggy Bags insert installed in my bags.. It made a HUG difference. The best time to install them will be when the bags are new and have not begun to sag. My bags looked bad, and the inserts made them look new again. However, the more they are sagging, the harder it is to install the inserts.
