Bestem Saddlebag Liners- Bestem ROCKS!
I picked up my 2012 Vaquero in January of 2014 with 732 miles on it. The second accessory I purchased (actually ordered the Klok Werks windshield before I made the trip to pick it up) was a set of saddlebag liners by Bestem (http://www.bestemusa.com/Kawasaki-Vu...ck_p_1016.html). I found my best price on Amazon. I'm an Amazon junkie. After 3 years of heavy use, as in 50 weekend camping trips and countless throwing a liner in to carry stuff, one of the zipper pulls failed on the top of the left bag. It's still usable, but now a bit inconvenient. I contacted Bestem, and after a couple of emails, where I sent them my Amazon receipt and pictures of the failure, I just got news that they have shipped me a replacement. FREE! After 3 1/2 years!
Now that's what I call standing by your product! I will be a return customer, and I encourage everyone to check the site out, if you haven't already.

My liners aren't Bestem, but I used their products when I had a Jeep. Quality stuff and very durable. I didn't think about them having motorcycle products or I would have probably gotten their liners.

The Bestem Deluxe liners, How do they zip on top. Can I leave them Unzipped and in for everyday use?

The new ones they sent me have an orange liner in them, and feel actually heavier and better made than my originals. One happy customer!

I don't see why not. Keep them in with the saddlebag straps buckled? Should work.

I have 5 years on mine and they have been in 3 different Victory's and they still look new after more than 100,000 miles on them.
