Perfect (cheap) liner for '05 R12GS BMW side bag

[gschober]

All,

Just something I thought I'd share...
I never used liners for my BMW side bags in the past.
Recently while checking on some camping gear at a local Bass Pro Shop, I came across a tackle bag on sale that looked like it might have the size of the right (bigger) side bag of my GS. After I bought it, I checked and found out that it perfectly fits inside the right (bigger) case. Since I put all the heavy and bulky stuff like shoes, tools etc. in the left (small) bag, I don't really need a liner for that one.

I used the new liner on a 3 day trip over the holidays and it worked perfectly.
It's called Qualifier 370 and the regular price is $29.99 if you go for the red one.

Sheesh, I've been re-using Hannaford plastic shopping bags. Been meaning to do something more permanent...
I was kind of embarassed going through customs two weeks ago, the fellow was such a professional. Not even a smirk.

If cheap is the operative word, you can do what I did:

measure the inside dimensions of the bags, and find a gym/duffel that is pretty close at this store:

I paid about $40 for three bags for my GS Adventure cases...
