Central Wisconsin

Just thought I'd let those of you that are interested,

that the homemade passenger arm rests are working well after a couple thousand miles of use

 

 

 

Recently I added black helmet locks to the arm rests.

San Antonio, TX		Great idea on the helmet locks. One last thing my wife would need is a Kruser Kaddy cup holder on the left side.

Ride Safe....I will have to add this to my fabrication list.

The helmet locks look a little bit like pistol triggers...LOL!

Yes a cup holder would be great.

Akron, Ohio		Thanks for the idea on the arm rests. My wife said she would really like a set also. I am currently working up a set that the pivot will be outside of the seat so there wont be a problem with the tight fit/wear points. I'll post a pic or two when done. I ordered the arm rest pads yesterday so hope to have them soon.

Ken...nice work! 

I like the way you hinged the arm rests outside the back rest.

I tried to post bigger pics but it said they were too large. I will shoot more pics of the entire bracket as soon as I take them off to paint. Should be only a day or two. If I can't get larger pics to post I will just include the link to Flicker. Thanks!

PS. I'll get the hang of posting these pics sooner or later
