Tour-Pak & Saddlebag Liners
I've looked a the H-D brand bags and I'm just wondering if they are any good. Are there better bags to be found else-where or are any of these bags worth using? I just looked at my own post and realized that I need to change my picture. I just got a new Street Glide and have never used any kind of bag liners before.

I got the standard HD bag liners (made of nylon). They were inexpensive and seem well worth the cost as they stop stuff from rattling around in the cases and make it very easy to pack and carry your luggage. I don't use them all the time, just on trips. I got mine at 20% off from Zanotti.
These might even be better, I've bought liners from Cee Bailey before and they were top quality. http://www.ceebaileys.com/bags/harley_bags.html

I also like the HD saddlebag inserts - they are of high quality and have handy compartments on the inside and a small zippered pocket on the outside. Well worth the money. But I'm less excited about the insert for the chopped tour-pak - it's of thinner material and doesn't hold its shape well. It's also not as tall as it should be to maximize capacity.
I think the bag liners are pretty nice: they make it easy to pull out at the hotel and replace in the morning. The tour pack bag doesn't seem like it would be as effective for the way my wife and I pack for trips...mostly my wife.

when i travel on the bike i mainly use the tourpak bag for most of my luggage, and then the saddlebags for rain gear, tools, etc. Works great for me

I bought a set on Ebay last year that appear to be copies of the HD ones but cheaper and also well made - fit and work fine.

Thanks for all the replies. I haven't seen the HD branded liners and didn't know if there were possibly better one's available. Looks like, other than price, they're all about the same. We're not talking a lot of money here, but I'd hate to just automatically go for the HD model and find there were much better liners available for possibly even less.
