Bag Maintenance on new Heritage

My Heritage is a week old, and before the bags start losing their shape I'd like to know what everyone has used on their bags. Looking for advice.

Boss Bags can retrofit stiffeners. It ain't cheap, but it will be top quality.

"new" heritage...they won't sag?

Unless they've done something different to the bags...they will sag.

although I've posted these before / after pics. before....I do it one more time if it's any help.

there are other bag 'liners' that some people rave about...so I assume they work well.

gotsaggybags.com worked for me....here are the pics...

I believe as of 2009 the have done something different to the bags, thicker leather, some sort of support structure on the sides, etc. Personally I wouldn't buy something until/unless the problem actually occurs.

My bags are already noticeably out of "square". I plan to to have my bags redone, probably by Boss Bags next winter... I know they are more expensive, but one thing I have found on this bike is that every time I try to save money by going the "cheap" route the results are never what I hoped for...
