Looking to buy a set of bag liners for my integral cases. Any recommendations, Kathy's, RKA, BMW or others?

I am very pleased with the RKA liners for my R1200ST. High quality materials and good workmanship.
I think we just had a thread on this but I can't find it...
I like Kathy's bags. They're tough and fit well. I've heard that her service is excellent if there are any problems.

I like my RKA liners, but sometimes the zippers get stuck.![]()

I use these, they work perfectly, are waterproof, have a handle and I can use them when I go car camping. Great cheap alternative to the custom bags.

RKA all the way!!!Well made products and great people to deal with!
I bought a Rack Bag for my R1200ST.

It was made to fit the "odd" shaped rack and works great! I ordered it over the phone and had it the next day.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Thanks all for the input. Looks like RKA is the preferred bag liner. They were at the Beemer Bash in Quency, I walked by their site several times (never realized that they sold liners as well as soft bags)![]()
I think I'll give them a try.....Thanks again

Looks like you've got your answer. Just for the record, I tried the Cee Bailey's bags last year. I was not impressed with the quality. The zippers looked like a weak spot. They also compromised a lot of potential space by not completely form fitting my RT's luggage. I ended up returning them. At first they wanted to charge me a fee (like they do for windshield returns). I had to read them their own return policy which stated it was full value.![]()

Thanks for the info on Cee Bailey's. I checked their on line catalogue and couldn't find a product for my bags so I didn't go much farther with that choice but thanks for the reply.

That's interesting. I have them and they fit perfectly on my R1200RT and have good zippers. I wonder if they sent you the wrong bags?

I just got a set of Kathy's for my RT and I'm very impressed with how well made they are.
RKA for sure.
I bought a set for my R1150RT 6 years ago and they still work great.
I just got a pair for my R1200RT and they look even better.
... and Richard is a great guy !!!

I have Integral cases for The BatBike, and they have some good liners that are made to fit. Even though they are a bit old and worn, they are still very functional. I wish I knew who made them so I could make a recommendation, but they came with the bike when I bought it used. A friend said they look like Kathy's but I really have no idea.
Bikeless for now...but not forever!

Sorry about your experience with the Bailey bags. Mine fit perfectly as well. Even had a little pocket to fit the little cubby in the inside of the right side bag. Zippers work great.
