Default Pack your clothes in?

So I'm getting ready for a short 5 hour run over to Florida and will spend a few nights. What do y'all pack your clothes in? I mean ... obviously the saddle bags and tour pack. But ... do you just use duffle bags? Or are there duffles made to fit the shape of the saddle bags?

Staying at a decent hotel and didn't want to walk through the lobby with a trash bag full of clothes or multiple zip lock bags showing off the undies ...

I bought a set of the HD luggage inserts. Awesome. When you get to your destination, yank them out and lock the saddlebags back up. No wasted space either. They were around 50 bucks.

Yep. Saddlebag & trunk inserts. I bought the soft ones, because then you can still cram more s**t in on top of them if you have to. I've never tried the hard saddlebag or trunk inserts.

There are also companies (including HD) that make inserts for other types of HD saddlebags (ie leather, etc).

Yep the new MoCo bags with the Ultra Ltd are the best design for panniers - I've never had any leaks on Harley hard boxes

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Only question is ... rather than MoCo ... are their forum sponsors that sell this equipment?

For a variety of reasons I prefer not to buy stuff from HD unless I can't get it anywhere else.

River Road makes/sells a pair. Available from most any vendor i'm sure. PhatPerformance had them If i remember correctly.

Yup:

Of course the 99 dollar free shipping is going to make you find more stuff to buy

I have a small duffel bag that fits into my Tour Pak I ride out in throw away shirts and toss 'em as I go. Lord knows I have a buttload of old shirts to get rid of and I usually buy new ones from the spots I ride through.

I'm planning a 5,000+ miler next month. I'll dig out the old underwear, socks and t-shirts that are ready to be tossed and pack those. I can wear a pair of jeans forever, so no tossing those.
