Question Hard Bag Lining

I just ordered hard bags for my King Classic and looking to line the insides. Anyone use the Drag Specialties one that comes in pieces and glues in ?
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 ordered the HD premium liners, they should be in anyday now.. I'll let you know what I think. I do like the idea of being able to take them out when needed..

Why glue in. I thought the it was the convience of taking them out with all you stuff in them when you got to the hotel or whatever that they were made for. Mini duffles in a way. I really don't care what the inside looks like. I wouldn't have them if I couldn't carry them outside the hardbags. Am I missing something ? The HD liners are pretty good,

The "pull out" bags and the lining material are both called liners. I agree with the nicety of grabbing it all taking it inside with you; however I'm looking into the carpet or felt (whatever they make em out of) lining kit that may or may not stay in the bag. It looks as though either products I mentioned would also allow a duffle type liner to also slip in, but unless I was traveling I would be happy to just have the ABS plastic lined for a cleaner look along with lighter color (easier to see in) and perhaps no rattles.

I used the Drag liners that come in pieces and are glued to the walls of the bags --- finishes off the interior very nicely - not too difficult to install but you do have to take your time. paul

My RGC came with the moco ones.

+ side: hi quality, nice fit, good looks, easy removal.

- side: the reduce bag width by more than 1/2 inch.

The only purpose they serve is to keep things from rattling, and there are better ways to do this w/o giving up so much space.

As another option you may want to try some of the woodworking stores(Woodcraft or Rockler). They used to carry a spray on felt type material used in jewelry boxes, don't remember what colors were available though.
