Poor Finish
Chrome plate started flaking off after one year. Easy to install, wife say they work well. These are getting powder coated and kept for the long term. |

Great product, so far.
I recently installed these arm rests and are very satisfied with them. I have not had them on long enough for the rust issues others have mentioned to be a factor. Perhaps in time it will be. But for now, my wife really loves them, and the installation was pretty straight forward. The only issue there was that it didn't seem like the bend the mounting brackets came with matched the bend on my bike between the trunk and the speaker housings. So I added a bit to the bend and they matched up perfectly. A minor amount of custom fitting. Otherwise, they mounted easily enough - measure twice, drill once. I found it helpful to have someone hold them in place as I measured where the holes were to go. Note: these are for arms only, not for body weight. I can see where if too much weight was applied to them that they would likely fail or deform. I had to instruct my wife to not use these to steady herself when mounting or dismounting. Her initial instinct was to do that. We do like the fact that these remain laterally secure v. the ones that rotate outward. Egress is the only complaint others have mentioned should the need arise to get off the bike quickly. The ones that rotate laterally do avoid that potential issue. If that's a concern for you, you may wish to give it some thought. For us, I can only say that if she needs to depart the bike quickly, I trust she'll make it happen as necessary. |

Rusts quickly
Had these about 18 months and they are pitting and rusting even though they are polished and cleaned regularly. They are great looking rests though and work well, I think I will get them re-chromed over the winter months. |

Wife is happy so I'm happy
I have to agree with others on the installation. The arm rests are made of top quality material but I was not impressed with the the way these mount. The mounting brackets are not shaped to the seat back and trunk as I believe they should be. Thus once the stock seat is re-installed there is a small cap. RIVCO provides a foam close out to fill the gap and it stays put just fine, but I still think that the foam was an after thought. This is why I gave them only 4 stars. Installation was straight forward, but you do have to do some drilling, so measure at least twice to make sure your holes will be where you want them and both sides are aligned. Otherwise you might have one armrest slightly higher than the other.As far as the armrests go, they work perfectly. The Mrs. is very happy with them, and they travel well in the up or down position. |

Easy as 1,2,3
Rivco makes great products and install was a breeze. After 18000+ miles we still love them especially the wife. Best product I ever purchased for my Wing. |

Not for me
The arm rests are made of top quality material but I was less than impressed with the mount system. The mounting brackets are so thick that it was hard for the seat back to fit down tight resulting in a small gap that I did not like. I tried to adjust them but the fit for my 2003 GL1800 was not to my liking. I removed them without ever riding it. For $279 I was disappointed and since I installed them I cannot return them. They are in perfect condition and for sale at a discount if anyone is interested. |

Looks great
These went on without much problem. They work and function great. to use the trunk, you will have to pull then up a little. One thing, you will have to seal the leather with a water repellant product. After a rain storm, you can squeeze them out like a sponge |

Satisfied
I really like the look and functionality of these armrest. They were by far the better looking out of all the onse I shopped for. I went with the beverage holder shown in the picture but will most likely swap it out. I will write a separate review on it but the mounting for it leaves a lot to be desired. As for the armrest, they are top quality. The mounting to the back of the trunk area could have been of better designed. somewhat flimsy. I added extra screws and oversized washers for additional stability. My wife likes them as well. Exceptional quality. I just ordered the Ultimate King seat. Ultimate says that their seat (pictured) works well with the Rivco armrest. I was told by the Corbin rep that their seat will not work with these. 5 stars. |
