For those bagging your softails...
I got some info from the touring guys (thanks!) and made some organizers for my bags out of an old over the shoulder bag I had. I cut off the out side pocket and trimmed it down to size. I sewed in some dividers so it has three pockets for various good. I put some grommets in it so it can mount right on the pins and some Velcro on the back to keep it flush in the bag. I sewed around the edges to keep it from fraying as well.
Then I cut the inner organizer portion of this bag off and sewed the edges and put some grommets in it for easy mounting in the other bag. I am waiting on my Brukus Saddelbag Secure to arrive and I will pop these in my bags and keep various stuff in tehm. the organizer pockets gets meter money, a flashlight, leatherman, zip ties, electrical tape, etc. I am not sure what will go in the other yet. I avhe a small toolkit I keep in my bag already, but ordered a tool roll and will be making a better kit now as I now have more space for stuff.
I am thinking about sewing my own organizers if anyone is interested. It might be a bit as I just learned to sew yesterday. These will be flush on the inside of the bags so there is still plenty of room for everything else. I have issues with organization and I think these will really help me.

If you have a sewing machine it is pretty easy. That is what I said before the OL showed me what to do.

I went to Walmart and bought a organizer that slides over the sunvisor in a car for my wife's Heritage. I punched a couple of holes in it and it works great.( I will add the gromets, great idea). I keep the registration and a few other small items in it. Mine is too small for the owners manualso I keep both owners manual in my Ultra. Great Idea.
