+1 on the magnetic doors, big help also if your trying to rung the heavy breather with short filter on a bike with lowers.
Liners are HD; a little flakey installing them, but they are pretty plush and keep things from rattling on the hard plastic.

Yes they are HD. Got them online from Ronnies for about $27.00 plus shipping which wasn't bad because I order several other items.

Same here, now I actually have space I can use easily. My girl keeps her suntan lotion there and no longer as to bother me to open the saddlebags

I have speakers in my lowers.... but the wife has the snap covers. I replaced the stupid plastic tabs with regular snaps like come on leathers. Just go to the fabric/craft store and pick up a pack of them. Use 3/4 long 1/8 aluminum pop rivets and a pop rivet washer inside the opening to attach them.

Problem solved. The doors snap on and off perfectly.

My snaps work easily. I have my garage door opener velcro'd in there. I keep small things like sunscreen, etc in there too.

Hate those damn covers! Trying to decide between the HD magnetic ones ($42) or aftermarket locking ones ($34).

Go with the locking ones. I keep my ipod in there, so its good to have a lock on it.
