I have a FLHRSE4 08 and I would like to get a lid orginizer for my saddle bags. Do I have the FLHRC style of bag and would the lid orginzer design for this bag work with mine. Thanks

The Classic bags are much bigger.  The Road King Custom bags are like the SERK bags.  I have not seen an organizer for the Custom. I'm sure they could be adapted, although I do not know how they attach.

I had those for the hard bags on my '05 SEEG, have not seen any for the leather bags. And, in fact, I did not find them that useful. The pockets are pretty small, and if you put something heavy into them, the things will not really stick.

I have look for organizers for my bike with no success. At one point, the lids were covered with Velcro, items fail and I found that I needed that space to stiff-my-stuff. After getting a set of bag locks I used a liner idea from bat liners that satisfied my needs. I cut a firm piece of panel board in the shape of the inner bag at the level above stored items. I painted the board black and items like tools, glasses, medication, adapters, locks/keys, etc, and vanish. I used 4 strips of industrial hook-n-loop to keep it in place, Things the I use frequently are in a pouch on top of the partition. Now I feel I have more space in such a small compartment to stiff-my-stuff. It took several design patterns and cuts to get the shape and now I have a design with pouches.

I bought a set of 54005-04 off of E-bay and had to cut a notch in them to fit around the latch on the bags - they work just fine!! I can take pics if you want just let me know...

I agree this site is awesome and has saved me a bunch of my by DITY. I just installed a set of HD locks discribed by Harleyteam back in March. I feel much more secure now with the locks inplace. Granted locks just keep good people honest, however, it makes me feel better.

Now to my real reason, I ask deals and parts department all the time if I could do this or this and you all know the answer.... I am going to tackle the lid organizer next. So please if you have any pics they are most helpful. I know I could not of put those locks on w/o pics. So please picssssssss.......... of customized lid organizer. 

  Thanks ahead of time!!!

OK here is my pic of the saddle bag organizers. The part outlined in blue is all part of the latch. In order for the lid organizer to fit I had to cut away part of it so it would slide underneath the latch (again in blue) and allow for the lid to be shut. You can see at the left on the top of the organizer machine sewn "hem" that is cut off by the latch. If this does not make sense I will try to take different pics.

The following picts help demonstrate how I organize my stuff and how to place the locks. The partition compacts items so they do not move while riding. I mostly use the left side partition and fill larger items and stuff I use frequently on the right. I love carrying tool and etc, stuff that I will not use on every trip and stop. The locks are not hard to install. Use your templates, drill your holes, and reroute your cables.

I guest I should show the stuff beneath the partition. The stuff comes as high as the bottom chrome strip on the bag which leaves plenty room for rain gear or light jackets. Down here in Houston I need the right side for the cooler and rarely use a partition. Stuff that I use frequently I keep in a pouch in the right bag. It is a great place to stash protection stuff.
