Leland Posted September 13, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 13, 2012 Well after all of these years, my wife has decided to ride (some). I installed these passenger armrests http://www.motorcyclereararmrest.com/ . The metal is aluminum and it is very well made. Cost $149.00 plus $15.00 for UPS ground. Arrived in four days after order. Less than one half the price of Love Handles http://www.motorcyclearmrest.com/ . Just had to drill two holes to mount with the lower backrest screws.

What kind of material is that in between the armrest please ? Is that 1/8" steel with a nice powder coating ? Or is it some other material, such as fiberglass ? I checked out the site and does not really give that information or I missed it. Fuzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigLenny Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted September 14, 2012 Leland, I bought those same armrests 3 weeks ago and installed them on my RSTD. My wife and I left two Saturdays ago and went on a 4000 mile 12 day trip through some of the western states. Long story short, she loved the armrests. She said that she feels a lot more secure on the bike, especially during times when she might doze off. I like them because they look more integrated into the bike, and they don't intrude into the area behind the backrest where our t-bag rests. I recommend them.

Solodadof2 Posted September 14, 2012 Share #10 Posted September 14, 2012 Check with ultimate seats they have a nice set of armrest that are easy to install for trips and uninstall as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigLenny Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share #11 Posted September 14, 2012 Ultimate Seats backrest is a good set. I have Ultimate Seats on my RSTD and we have really been impressed with the comfort of the seat, so I naturally looked at their armrest. The problem with the Ultimate Seats armrest is it mounts on the back of the backrest with a bar that goes across it. This interferes with sliding a t-bag onto the backrest because the t-bag sleeve that fits over the backrest fits so snug that the armrest bar gets in the way. What I like about the armrest i bought from http://www.motorcyclereararmrest.com is it is a thin aluminum plate that fits between the backrest pad and the sissy bar. No concern about a bar going across the back of the sissy bar that gets in the way. The Lovehandles armrest has the same issue that the Ultimate Seats armrest has.

FuzzyRSTD Posted September 14, 2012 Share #12 Posted September 14, 2012 Where did you get the "Beaded Seat Cover? Thanks, Dan 970-396-1609 Dan I think you can get those from Wall Mart ... Not what he has, but that seems to be just a regular beaded seat cover to me ? Fuzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy The material is aluminum. If it was steel, I would say that it is about 10ga. Don't think that they are powder coated, but he did do a nice job of painting them. Like I said, I think that they are very well made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
