Oh Harley, Harley, Harley
after much pondering on bagger liners I decided I just wasn't going to pay 300 bucks to line my bags like the inside of a casket. But I did want liners.
I bought the hd liners for 140 and put those in. Looks great. They are formed and black and are supposed to stay put with Velcro.
Harley cheapskates out and provides 3 1 inch squares to stick on the bag liner but they give you both side loop. No hook side so nothing sticks to nothing.
Back to home depot.

It's getting to the place where you just say, well thats just par for the course. It's gotten past funny and even getting mad about, and thats the very sad part. We are being trained to expect nothing more.

I agree. Harley has gotten to the point where they believe Harley owners will put up with **** poor customer service just because we love Harley Davison motorcycles. The only way they will change is when market share declines or we all push back and not except it anymore!

I'm sure they have major meeting, with satellite feeds to every dealership thinking up new ways to screw us every day. Putting three of the same squares in to the box for the liners was just the latest...next it will be to administer IQ and aptitude testing to all service techs, and a new Harley mandate that the combined IQ of the service department can't exceed 100.
Maybe if you called back up to the place you bought them and nicely explained the problem, someone would make it right. The problem is that most people go in screaming and yelling about how they were ripped off or are GOING to be ripped off just because they walked in the place. I was in two different dealers the last two weekends, and got to see people coming in to ask about parts or get some work done, and better than 7 out of 10 came in with the attitude of they knew more and the place was just trying to rip them off. Pretty sad really I that I've seen both of these places bend over backwards to try to treat people right and really go out of the way when there is a mistake made.

I wasn't really bashing harley, but the general state of things and customer service everywhere. Money goes where it is wellcome, or at least thats where I try to spend mine. Thats also the reason why so much is made out of this country. jmo

They then stick to the liner itself with the hooks. Least mine are like that.
Something like that I guess.

Nope. No pix. I stuffed the liners in. Even if they gave me 3 loop and hook squares that worked I need many more. I'm just going to buy a roll and run a "line" about a foot on the street side of the bag liners each.
They are "form fitted" but they don't lay nice inside the bag unless you have a Velcro line holding the bag liners to each side of the bag. The liner tends to fold inward a bit without anything holding the liner to each side of the bag.
No big deal to fix but ya think these guys would supply 2 feet of velcro per bag to make this fit perfect. But no.
Hd decides to send 3 one inch squares a bag with loop sides on all squares just so I can't be done with this 30 second install before a trip to home depot and another unload and reload of the contents of bags themselves.
Harley, Harley, Harley. When ya gonna learn.
3 squares. Fubar squares at that.

Yup. 100% correct... just as described in the instructions.
