I've had the Harley felt (I guess they are felt) soft and fuzzy-how's that-set in liners since I bought my SG in 06. They are awesome and keep everything from rattling around and wearing the plastic on the insides of the bags.

Thanks guys, I might wait till I can drive over to the Detroit HD (install there, no duty/tax/shipping, 25% cheaper) and get the HD formed ones. I like the removable aspect verses glueing in.

I also picked up some lowers glove box liners (HD molded felt), that are a nice addition.
Tip on install, check which is left and right BEFORE you put one in and then have to try and get it back out!!

Thank to all for your replies. All the information I was looking for and some pics too !!
Since space is at a premium..."Thin Wins" (glue -in). As stated I will just have to take my time and do a nice job. The grey will be easier to see into than black, and have a nice finished look.
Removable ? that will be another liner with handles, and sure it will still fit since I saw those inserted along with the (thicker)HD lining.
Lastly.. rattle.. don't know that I ever heard my (leather covered) hard bags rattle, what with wind, motor and exhaust noise, not to mention ear plugs. My guess is the "hard
bags" will need a little cushion. SC
Oh and the "Crushed Velvet" Nice Work !!

But back to the original poster, I'm also looking at the bag liners (felt type). There seems to be three choises, HD's hard formed felt, DS's slip in (uses velcro, and are soft formed), and the glue in kits. I also have the soft sided ,handled, travel bags and hope you can still use with them.
So anyone have experiance with these?

you can still use the bags, but like I said you give up 1/2 inch of width an length. Might not sound like much, but its a pair of jeans in each bag if you back smart. I leave the moco liners in around town, but I'm sure I'll take them out for road trips.

Motorcyclesuperstore has Dalcow slip-in zipper bags for only $18 bucks. Thin and light, and a slippery material. They likely will only last a few seasons, but what the heck.

The fit looks great in the pics.
Second choice would be the HD ones that just set in. Any Ideas or info would be great ! SC

I have the Harley ones and they work perfectly. Look good and are very durable. I also bought liners for my Road Glide Glove boxes. Stops rattles and is safe for glasses.

Best regards!
