INAPPROPRIATE RESPONSE. I thought you were referring to case liners. My bad.
Can I assume you have not done a lot of long distance touring? The problem with fitted case lugguge is that you will be schlepping everything into the hotel/motel, when all you need are toiletries and a change of undies.
I have a medium size rack bag that carries that and things like chargers, reading materials and maybe a change of clothes for evening off the bike activities. The foul weather gear, tools, extra riding clothes (one change) etc. stay in the bike.
This arragement has served me weel for over 4 decades of touring.
Most pack too many clothes and find they didn't need them. Motels / hotels have guest laundries and you can wash undies in the bathroom sink. So don't over burden your ride. Remember; when you travel, no one knows what you wore yesterday.

Some of the down pours been caught mid trip in; that extra clothing comes in real handy.
That’s with the Frunk, hard bags & a Pak-it-rack.(cloths,gear,snacks) D7DA204A-0BE8-4653-B802-BDF48798F8F2.jpeg (don’t believe is excessive, still have room for souvenirs & such) just handy FYI still quite a bit of mess with the rooster tail off rear tire, whatever brackets you will need to keep off tire may wanna go ahead for the hard bags good luck

The undies get worn just one day and I do pack 4, maybe 5 tighty whities, rolled very tightly for space conservation. Started long distant touring in the 70s, so there's a lot of learning what to pack what not to pack. Something missing? Stores have them.
Here's another touring tip: wear/pack old worn out clothing, especially undies and toss 'em in the trash after wearing them.
We've ridden through some goose drowner rain storms, but were pretty dry with our excellent rain gear, providing we can put them on prior to getting on the bike. If not, motels have hair dryers.
Cheers
