Go onto ebay, find the ebay store for "cruiserbackrest" ; search for "Bestem" liners.
They are HD knockoffs, exactly the correct size and for much less. And yes, they do transfer between models as long as they are the standard HD hard saddlebags.
u can interchang but the fit isnt perfect ive got the old set from my rkc and used them on the ultra by mistake the leather ones are just a bit smaller.
I got a set when I purchased my bike, and have never used them. Can't figure out why I ever would use them. Maybe I'm missing out on something here. (No, I don't want to sell them since they came with the bike.)
P.S. Saw a guy get off an airplane Thursday and he was carrying one of the liners as his "carry-on" luggage. Funny how this topic comes up all of a sudden.

i'm not a harley everything kinda guy, but you can get the saddlebag liners from zanotti's for $34.00 while the ones that you reference were at buy it now for $41.00.
when you're looking for the liners, there are 3 different ones, the ones for the road king leather bags, the ones for the road king custom hard leather bags, and then the ones for the abs hard bags.
for the abs hard bags, the part number is: 91885-97A

well, there you go. maybe you wouldn't use them as carry on, but obviously they work for that. i like to use them on trips. load up everything in the liner, when you get to your destination, just pull the liner out, and carry it into your hotel room. now you have an empty saddlebag and you aren't toting your drawers all over town while you're riding around.
Zanotti's
Anybody got a link for their website? The one I found is old...
Thanks....you can PM or just post here....Sorry for hijacking the thread.....

We have the factory set, simply because they were the easiest to find at the time. Been using them for several years now. Also have a factory bag that fits on the Tourpak carrier, so a full set of four!
Like you we don't camp and prefer a roof over our heads. Much more cool to carry zipped handbags than struggle with armsfull of stuff.
