Where to purchase RKA Liner Bags
All of RKA's products can be viewed and ordered here - www.rka-luggage.com
Their bagliners are very efficient. I also have their 24.5 lt Shiloh Road tank bag. Quality gear! You won't be disappointed.

Saddlebag liners can be purchased directly from Kathy's Journey Designs -

I have actually ridden to her shop (just south of Floyd, Va. on rt 8) a few times and added to my collection of liners.
On the map image below Kathy's is the location at the top shown as Blue Ridge Yurts. I'd not really grasped the
concept of "glamping" until I took a peek into one of those yurts. Not at all like the ones in Mongolia that Charlie
and Ewan were in ...

+1 on RKA bags and lots of other MC stuff Richard and Kathy have. Richard is a big supporter of the BMW MOA annual rallies, and always has a large display at them.

They don't show liners for the F900XR.
The R1250RS and early years S1000XR BMW bags use the same lid as the F900XR but the inner half is different.
I don't know if their R1250RS or S1000XR liners will work with the F900XR.

I bought liners for my 2017 R1200RT six years and 41,000 miles ago. They're VERY well made, still look new, designed to completely fill the interior (including the recess closest to the rear wheel). Just looked up the current price -- less than $65.00.

If they work for you, then I wouldn't worry about being gauche. Now this is gauche. This video has been around for a long time, but it still makes me laugh. https://m.facebook.com/tractionerag...whale-foreskin-is-an-option/1367906616578857/

I've got 17 years on our BMW liners, including a top box bag, for our RT. They're bulletproof and while they weren't cheap, they haven't failed in any way and show just about no wear. I like them well enough that we've used them as airline luggage a few times without an issue. I like that you absolutely can't overfill the bags, which means the lids on your bags are always going to shut relatively easily.
Prior to that, I've used RK liners, which are terrific and local to us NorCal folks. We also bought some canoe bags from REI that were rubber bottomed, canvas and had a waterproof zipper on the top. They worked great on my wife's K75S back in the day and later, her RS.
But you want to use bags, no matter where you get them. It beats the heck out of bringing muddy, yucky wet bags into your tent or hotel room.

I have the BMW aluminum bags for my 2016 R1200 GSA LC that I bought back then and never installed yet (I've been busy).
Now since the bags are aluminum, do they not leave a black tinge all over the outer surface of the inner bags? If so, solutions? Same for my KLR650 that has Daerr aluminum bags; can't remember what the end result was.

Going with RKA
After a bunch of looking around, including making a set of duffles myself, I've decided to go with the RKA bags. I sent them an email question and got a reply back right away from Richard. They're going to update their website but the bag liners for the 800GTL will fit my F900XR cases (they're the same). They're also the same for the R1200, 1250R/RS, S1000XR, F800R/XR/GT. I thought making my own would be cheaper, but decent water-resistant canvas is expensive. I would be paying nearly the same price and there's no way I could make them as well as what RKA produces.
So thank you all for your suggestions. It helped.

RKA bag liners
You won't be dissappointed. RKA's products and their customer service is the best! As I've mentioned, I have their liners for my RT and their 24.5 liter Shiloh Road tank bag. I also purchased the INNOVV K2 camera system and a SENA 50s from RKA. Richard is a tech geek and can solve most connection issues.
Cheers!
