Arm Rest Install

I was able to install the arm rests I got from Snaggletooth (Thanks Mike, I'll buy ya a cup of coffee sometime).

I used a U-Bolt around the passenger grab bars through the upper portion of the bracket. I needed to cut down the length of the U-bolts. After I installed them, I covered the nylon locking nut with an acorn nut to avoid potential damage to the seat. The lower part of the bracket needed to be attached to an "extender". I used a piece of plumber's tape (left over from garage door opener install) and bolted it to the arm rest bracket. I them exchanged the seat mounting bolt with a longer one. The saddle bags are very tight to put on. I will try the ideas from my earlier post today when I get home from work on Wednesday.

Doreen and I took a short ride around town and does she love them!!! We can not wait to get on the highway. As per Rule #1, here are some photos.

Hey Dave,

Glad ya got it worked out. Even better the SO is happy. You know what that means....Everybodies Happy.

Don't hit me Doreen.

Now just tie her in with a bungie and she can take nice long naps back there.

I'm glad they went to good use.
