Has anyone found a pair of somewhat inexpensive liners that will definitely fit in the leather saddlebags on the Roadmaster Classic?

this is what my Ma and Paw used when we left the trailer park and visited the fancy Yankee folk up north.



just ball busting ;-)

I have the Cee Baileys bag lines for my road-master.
good quality, no Polaris/Indian Tax.

They have a Indian vintage bag. I ASS-U-me the road-master classic and vintage use the same saddle bags.

something to try bud.
cheers,

Actually I got a good laugh out of that :) Good question about the Vintage bags. I'll have to ask.

UPDATE: The Cee Bailey's do not fit. :-(

Sorry sir,
Our liners will not work with the 2017 Roadmaster Classic LEATHER, our bags are made for the hard-cases, the leather cases are smaller.
Sorry.

hmm...

I believe your email PetinMD. but man, o man. I find it hard to buy the Indian Vintage saddle bag is NOT the same as the Indian road master classic saddle bag.
it just does not make sense to me for Mother ship Polaris to have different part runs.

I bet they [Cee Bailey], have not tested it and they are giving you a canned response of no.
wonder what their return policy is.....



cheers,

I called and spoke with the Parts specialist at Twigg Indian in Hagerstown MD. He researched and called me back. The Springfield bags are different from the Roadmaster Classic. The problem is that the Roadmaster leather bags are sort of pyramid shaped. Narrow at the top opening and wider at the base.

well I stand corrected.
Thank you for calling Twigg, PetinMD and sharing what you found.

in the end that a bummer for you.
Id be surprised if Cee Bailey would make a special run for a relative low bike count.

...but ive' been wrong before. ;-)
cheers,
The problem is, given the shape where the top is narrower than the bottom, I don't think that they CAN make a workable liner.

Pretty ridiculous given the price for these bags, but yes. Someone in the design department should be fired, IMHO.

The bags for the RM Classic and the Vintage do have different part numbers. I am not sold that they are fundamentally different in size however - may just be a different color/leather thing for the RM seat and trunk to match, or something unseen.

Since Cee Baileys makes soft liners for the Vintage, I would imagine they are "close enough" and would likely work on the RMC. I think the Cee Bailey's rep in the above email was thinking about the RM Hard Bag liners.

Still using BMW K1200lt bags, close enough
Torch -- were those from a previous ride...or did you size them up and go with a suitable substitute?

...wondering Indian didn't develop a simple soft instert with a handle that would fit multiple bags? A simple nylon bag/canvas or leather soft bag with a big ass Branding Logo would have been perfect for carrying into hotels.
