Saddlebag luggage/liners
#11
For hard saddlebags, I purchased a couple of inexpensive, appropriately-sized gym bags that were light weight and thin. I think they were about $6 at Dick's Sporting Goods. I also use a small, waterproof duffel bag for external mounting.
I'd suggest staying away from any bag that "recommends" using a rain cover or liner if the bag is going to be exposed to the weather...they tend to leak.

I use the Harley as well in both the saddlebags and the tour pack. Never a problem. I know someone that has these: http://www.storagepouches.com/#!__products
The biggest difference I've seen between the two is that HD bags have the zipper on the top, so you can access saddlebag contents while they are in the saddlebag. His zipper goes around the bag, more like a suit case. Easier in the hotel for packing, but more difficult to gain access to the bag on the road.

I have the saddlebag luggage from storagepouches.com. I don't know how they compare to the Harley bags, but I like the one I bought a lot. Good quality. I also use the Saddlemen 3-piece in the other side (though I only use one piece; the rest of the space is for gloves, cover, etc.) I like being able to choose how many bags I use in one side.

I have a set of HD saddlebag liners, but rarely use them. If you keep anything at all in your bag(s) the liners don't work. Instead I use a large Dekker II rack bag. It is big enough to hold everything needed for a 5000 mile, two week trip for me and the wife and my bags still hold tools, compressor, and a one gallon gas can and I can carry rain gear and leathers in the tour pack.

Don't use them for day trips, just for anything over night or longer...yes, those are my socks and underwear drying in the breeze off my rack!
