Any Saddlebag Liner Recommendations for the Ryker Spyder Extras Bags?

[gbyoung2]

Anyone out there with the Spyder Extras luggage system (sold through Slingmods) for the Ryker found any suitable saddlebag liners you’re happy with? I have liners that work fairly well for my C10 Concours and KLR, but those liners themselves take up too much room in the Ryker’s side cases. I’ve contacted the manufacturer (Nelson & Nelson Manufacturing) but they only offer a liner for the tail trunk.

TIA

I haven't. I currently use Aerostich Zipp Bags (small) on the right side, stacking on top of each other and a fabric tote (received when donating to the USO) on the left. Both leave unused space.

Search Amazon or Ebay for Foldable Travel Bag. You'll see some cheap ones that are good sized but thin and flexible enough to fold into their own pocket, and they fit into the side cases without adding bulk. I can't remember which bags I bought, but I've been well pleased with them. They aren't waterproof, but I never trust waterproof claims anyway. Anything I want to keep dry goes inside a plastic bag.

Thanks both.

With apologies to Mr. Goldfine, but I’ve initially opted for some bags from Amazon. They came in a 2-pack for a very reasonable price - $9.00. And of course, free returns if I’m not happy with them.

Andy’s Zipp bags were 2 X + more expensive for a single bag, and if they needed to go back, it would be on my nickel.

My next long trip (NY) isn’t until May, so I have plenty of time to find something I’m happy with.

Ya, the Zipps are expensive compared to Amazon and have been out of stock for a while. I've had mine for years and they seem pretty durable.

So, you were not happy with the Amazon 2-pack ones?

I dunno. I haven't received them yet. Just ordered them today.

The bags I ordered from Amazon based on Sarah's suggestion came in yesterday. So far, so good. They’re a skosh smaller overall shallower in the depth than the Cee Bailey's bags I was comparing them to, but they don’t have the heavier construction bulk like the Bailey’s that take up extra room. The outside dimensions are actually the same. That may not be a good thing with regards to their durability, but we'll see once we put them to use.
Just for S&G, when I get some extra time I’ll pack one up with my typical gbyoung2 load and stick it in one of the Sport’s hard bags for comparison. I have a feeling the supple material they’re made of will make all the difference in the world with how they conform to the hard bags shape.

Glad to hear you're pleased so far, Guy. I've crammed mine in every sort of hard case, soft saddlebag, and duffle you can imagine, hope yours work out too.
