One more tip, Get rid of the HD aluminum bag attach screws and get some stainless hex button head screws to attach saddle bags with. They save room, have a bit more security against bag theft and don't intrude or hinder closing and locking your bag lids.

We have those same saddlebag liner/bags and they're great. We use a TourPak bag with velcro straps also. All Harley branded but besides the camera bags, we use the same stuff. Great packing tips as the missus and I prepare for our first couple trip to Sturgis from So. Cal. I've rode it once but thrilled to bring her along this time. Keep us updated and ride safe.

I commend Mrs HDR on her packing, my wife would never make that, lol. When I go by myself I can use the space on the bike but when the wife comes along for anything more than an overnighter then its the trailer, which I don't really mind because it gives a place for jackets and helmets when we go in somewhere. Thanks for the video.

Had to get my wife cut back on the stuff she wants to take. Right side saddle bag does not change ever, both rain suits, tool kit, first aid kit, hat. Have a hard t bag similar to the Rick rack, trick is to keep heavy items low, lighter items high. Vacuum seal bags are great space savers as well. Stay safe.

With Harley they sell inserts that we use all the time. Don't over fill them and they slide right into the saddle bags. Enjoy your trip. Ride Safe
