Why use pannier liners since it's fairly easy to remove the panniers? My ST1300 doesn't have liners and I'm wandering if I should get some.
Thanks

Pannier liners, do you use them?

I bought the liners from someone here, in the For Sale area.
I travel with computer parts and tools, and I figure they will save the saddlebags' interior some wear and tear.
Some of the parts I haul around have rough edges.
Wish the zippers were more robust, though -- more like the YKK zippers on camping gear or duffle bags.

Does anyone make one for the1100's? Presently I put my tankbag from the Silverwing in the back trunk. Some day will see about a bag that works with the plastic cover.

When putting multiple items in for camping they keep everything from sloshing around, I rarely take them out. I packed the panniers without them once and it was like a junk drawer upon arrival.

eBay is full of offers on pannier liners...
I still love my old style, light gray RKA ST1100 liners, whilst they start showing torn seams with the years...
Easy packing (once you'd figured out how to stuff them so they will fit the pannier
), carry to bike, throw them in, close, go ride...
Hotels, B&Bs, campgrounds... grab the (clean!) liners, throw them on the bed, unpack what you need, not scratching your (dirtied up) panniers on hallway walls or inside tight elevator cabins...
Same for top-cases BTW, the higher sidewalls of liner bags prevent stuff falling out while manipulating things with the bike on it's side-stand...

Can't imagine not using liners. Why would I want to carry dirty, wet, panniers and top boxes into the nights accommodation. The best liners in my opinion zip from both sides. Much easier to plan your packing on trips that way.
But to each their own.

I used these for 8 years in my 11. Great kit. They now fit well in my Shad 35's.
Don't wander too far.
I've used them because they're far more convenient to carry around than the panniers are. And they add extra waterproofing and insulation.
Just easier to pack the bags inside at the house, then carry them down and put in the panniers.

I typically use zip lock bags. I find all the custom pannier bags take up more space and rarely take advantage of all the shape of the bag itself. With zip lock bags I can put clothes in them then press the air out and form it into the shape of the bag.
I don't hotel so I might have a different answer if I did, but since I camp, most things stay in the saddlebags all the time except for what I want/need inside the tent.

I found the soft liners nicer when going into motels. They saved wear and tear and scratches on the hard cases. Bumping them in a small room is inevitable. I had installed aux brake/turn/running LED strips on the back of my panniers, and even though there was a quick(?) disconnect, it was easier to pop the cases open, pull out a bag full of clothes and gear, close the case and head for the campsite or motel than undo the connector and yank the cases.
We use the liners as luggage also. Hers in one, mine in the other, gear in the top box along with any electronics.
I use them when I travel, easier to pack and haul up hotel/motel than heavy, dirty wet panniers.

Bestem does. They're sturdy and well made. They even have separate little zippered compartments on back that fits into the recesses in the back of the 1100's panniers.
I have two pairs of them. They make it easy to pack inside, carry to the bike, pop in and buckle the hold-down straps, and do the reverse when you get where you're going.
Faster, easier, and much lighter than taking the panniers off the bike. I don't have a top-box liner because I use it for stuff I want access to while on the road, like my drink.
See them here:

liners.My soft bags on 1050 VStrom have white liners! Bright & easy to see stuff.I use old helmet bags to organize my stuff in side those.
A small back pack (you can find them at Walmart, etc) will fit right in there. I cut the straps off as there's no need for them and they just take up space. Inexpensive and keeps stuff organized and from rattling around. They are easy to haul in and out of motels or camping.

I have the Ukrainian rack on my ST1100 which extends over top of the panniers. It’s a chore to remove the panniers, so using liners is a bonus. I can pack them up with the gear I need and quickly load the panniers without issues.
