Looks great, fits terrible!
Let's start with the good, armrests look great. The bad, everything else. The design and fit of these armrests are the worst goldwing design yet. The angles are way off for a 2016 model and design requires 4 - 1/4x20 bolts to support the weight on very thin plastic. This will break the trunk lid and speaker plastic even without a passenger ever using it. The other brands back the plastic on the back side with metal supporting brackets. It seems like they cared about Esthetics on the arms only as the carrier bracket is crude and poorly designed. This piece is painted black and paint is falling off exposing rusty metal. Speaking of metal, they over compensated for support by making this bracket so thick that the back rest fits terrible and leaves huge gaps between trunk and back rest. I might try Honda one next. |

excellent quality
Reading some of the reviews I cannot understand what the fuzz is all about. I have purchase these some 2 years ago and really use it a lot. Ease of fitting with minor knowledge and can be fitted within 30 minutes. Wife loves it to bits. There are cheaper options but I rather prefer this one as it feels and looks like solid quality. Other type of armrest is just.....just plain looking armrest. Pointles having all these nice fancy bling on your bike just to spoil it with "pipe type" armrest. This one has that expensive look. Adjusting the height is simple by turning in a grub screw. What I also like about it,you can open your topbox fully without catching onto the armrest like some others. Nice chrome and cushions to round it off. |

Nice Armrests
I'm rating these a 3.5, and here is why. Installation is a 5, very simple to install. Quality is a 2.5, appearance is a 5. The angles to the curve of the corner weren't quit right, had to bend them a little more to fit the corner properly. Right side arm rest angle is not square, tilts inward towards the passenger, another quality issue. Rico could pay attention to there forming issues, as for the price they should be perfect!! Otherwise they look great on the bike, and I like the fact you can open the trunk without flipping them out to the side. |

Big Mistake
I purchased these because I thought the wife would really like them. NOT!! She is short and they ended up too high for her. The back rest looked terrible & since it is an Ultra seat, I was not happy. Then the worst happened, I dropped the bike and she was unable to properly dismount. Bent the left one in a U. Surprised that this did not damage the plastic where mounted. At any rate, there is now duck tape covering the mounting holes and $300 bucks down the drain. Want a pair of these very cheap? Drop me an email. There is very little adjustability also, but they do look great on the bike. |

Look Good But
I have had these for about 2 years. and had to take them off the bike because the extra weight of the armrest keeps breaking the plastic rear speaker bottoms where they bolt to the trunk hinges. I am on my third set of speaker covers because when you open the trunk the weight of the arm reset hyper extends the hinges and the bolt holes for the hinges are very fragile and get pulled apart. Wish it wasn't so. Wife loved them. |

Rivco Armrest.. Online warranty gives you 2 years
Install was very easy,,I did the warranty online which gives you two years instead of 1 year through mail in..I have read the bad reviews and will update if there is a problem,,But for now they are very stylish and she loves them,,I also like the flip up rather then the others that slide out to the side,,Plus the different ways to adjust,although we didn't need to.My gl1800 is always garaged so again I will update in the future if they fail..But right now we are happy with them. |

2 Year Update - Downgraded Review
Okay, I would like to update everyone on this product. I question whether they really are triple plated chrome. Mine are peeling, cracking and pitted. My 2012 Wing has always been kept in the garage and I only have 16K total miles on it. I put these on a little over two years ago and now I am looking to replace them because they look aweful. I like the style but the quality is poor. I would not recommend purchasing these. 2 stars for the design and style only. Not worth the money!!!! |

Update from Review 1/3/13
Hello all, a quick update, we have had these armrests on the bike for two years and like the other reviewers our set of armrests have the chrome separating . Very frustrating for an accessory we both love for various reasons, I am disappointed that RIVCO would charge such a high price for these yet go cheap on materials. RIVCO please pay attention...I will not purchase any of your products in the future period! You are now on my extinct list and as Mr. Wonderful would say "You're Dead to me"! |

Momma likes them
Is there really much more to add to this? Momma has been very pleased with these. We both enjoy not having to worry about opening up the trunk. Great add to the Trike. |

Triple chrome armrest headache
I have had these mounted on my wing for almost three years. They work well for my wife and they look good. I have not seen any rust yet but the mounting of them was so hard I almost tossed them out. A step back a deep breath and a Pepsi and two hours later they were mounted and like some others I have to remind my wife that there for arms only |
