Default Best saggy bag fix?

Sure this question has been asked a million times... what is the best product to restore Heritage saddle bags. A lot of products on the market..what is the best and simple to install that works?

Keep your bags stuffed full and the bags will not sag. I keep my beach blanket, jackets and other light stuff in all the time and no sag, They even kinda take a memory shape when empty after doing this. Cost-free!
Saggy bags resemble my old nut sack.

I stuffed my bags with blankets and old sofa pillows during storage for 3yrs, worked good, then the lids started to sag a little.

I installed PaPa bags inserts two yrs ago and U can see what they've done below..

East to install and not in the way at all..

There are some real dumb *** people on this site. Good idea, stuff your bags full, then when you are out on the road and need to put something in your bags, just decide what to throw away. WHAT A DUMB *** IDEA!

I've used the Gotsaggybags system on two Heritages. They do work well, but are typically a pain in the *** to install, especially on my current ride, since the bags were more out of shape to start. I'd never seen the papabag set up, looks like it might be a good option.

I used the "Got Saggy Bags" as well on my '05 Heritage. They work great but as a few others have stated..they can be a pain in the **** if your bags are pretty well weathered already since you need to man-handle them into the seam and work them down into the bag. You'll also need to glue the top piece to the top of the bag...I did what the instructions said and made a template with some lay-around 3/4" plywood.

Boss bags has a system, pricey but last a lifetime and you don't loose any storage space. http://www.bossbags.com/heritage.html Mine are 5 years old and look like the day she came off the showroom
