I do a lot of commuting and errands on my ST2. The bags have a lot of space and elastic cross-straps to help contain things, but I usually end up with a jumbled mess by the time I arrive at my destination.

I've seen some Harley-specific organizers, but not much else. Anyone know of any good products or suggestions to keep things in place in the standard Duc hard-cases?

 You might try browsing the Aerostich web site. They are very commuter friendly over there!

I use regular ol' plastic shopping bags for clothes and shoes and the like, in my soft Cortech bags.
But they're top-loaders.

You can go all bling-high-roller and use ziplock bags, I did that on my summer tour last year.

Problem is, these bags swing open from a bottom hinge. If things aren't well contained, everything falls out or falls into the open half. The X-straps help a fair amount for larger things like full grocery bags, but smaller items roll out the sides or under them.

I thought about just using some small boxes, but they'd need to be collapsible when not in use so they don't take up room. I usually put my helmet and gloves in one case so I don't have to carry them around or worry about them getting stolen if left on the bike.

I'll check out Aerostitch to see what they have.

 When I still had hard bags with the hinge on the bottom of the lid I would use the reuse able fabric shopping bags that replaced the plastic bags in our grocery stores. They have a thing plastic bottom that helps them hold their shape, they fold down to practically nothing, and hold a bunch of stuff.

The lower half volume filled by a paper mache liner, reinforced by fiber glass?  Undecided

Gives me some ideas. I might go with something like this:  http://www.amazon.com/Highland-Space-Master-Sided-Organizer/dp/B0002TPVXA/ref=pd_sbs_hg_4
