Guys, look inside !!!!!! They have Stiffeners in them in '16. (except the face, so you can add spots and conchos like the older ones)

Looked at them at the dealer this weekend. Couldn't see anything that would cause them not to sag. Buy the papa bags ASAP they will be much easier to put in with the bags new and soft. Heck they are $100 why not?

eichacsj, did you look in the bags. If you did , you need glasses. 16s have plastic supports in them except the face out front. Even the rim has stiffeners. This is the 3rd time I have said this...LOOK INSIDE IT'S IN THERE !!!!!!!!!!

Why create a problem that doesn't exit anymore. Some people are just plain liers or don't know what they are talking about. Why would you put plastic stiffeners on top of plastic stiffeners ? Just trying to raise your number ? Why give advice if you are misinformed ?

My 16 Heritage came with the liners as standard. It is parked next to my 97 Heritage Springer and those 20 year old bags do not sag either. The first owner cut out and installed liners when he got it.

Finally someone else claims they already have liners in the 16s.
