sgiacci - 2010-04-27 7:51 PM Good concept, works with the bikes lines, and is simple. This is what I like about new bikes that don't have a huge bolt on market. I think I might just get some metal this weekend and toss it into my vise. My only concern is the potential damage to the seat cover. Have you considered trimming a "Flexible Chopping Mat" and attaching it to the backrest to protect it?

Thanks.......................sgiacci!

My wife has been real pleased with the arm rests and we like the way they look too.

I added a small metal wear plate where the hinged arm rest bracket was touching the vinyl backrest.

If you really take your time bending the flat stock steel into an arm rest you might be able to create an even better fitting bracket.

victoryvisiontour - 2010-04-27 9:52 PM Lone Ranger, Are they any better looking in person?

Uhh... No.

They still look like refugees from a dentist's chair.   I would MUCH rather have a set like the ones in this thread.  They look great!

jomar - 2012-07-22 8:06 AM Great design, my wife is really wanting something for arm rests. Has anyone started making them that you're aware of? Thanks

Thanks Mark, The homemade passenger arm rests that I designed have been holding up very well.  I don't have the shop set-up or the time to manufacture, my job takes me out of town. I'm thinking JB.Hatch would be a candidate to make them.
