Default How to fill out RK Classic Saddlebags?

I recently acquired a 2000 Road King Classic in beautiful condition with 13,000 miles. The leather saddlebags are pristine with good lids, etc. I would like to give the saddlebags that slightly puffed out “full” look, just because I think it makes them more attractive. I could resort to a couple of Granny’s old quilts but saw a couple offerings for “support devices” on a couple sites, one being www.saggybags.com. Problem is that these things are made for Heritage bags but not the Road King. It would be great to hear from anyone who shares my penchant for bags with a filled out look and has solved this problem. Thanks, Ed

Huh? They are semi-rigid ... the lid does not like to be forced.

Put a 12 pack in each ... that fills them out nicely.
