Kuryakyn Armrest for GL1800
I purchased this style of armrest because I had them on my other trike unit. My wife liked the way they felt and supported her arms when riding. I received the new ones in great time and with very good service from WingStuff. Putting the new ones on was Ok on the one side. The side that has a CB radio antenna was much different. I could NOT get the two bolts in the trunk to ever go into the armrest bracket. I was OK with one bolt but not the other one. They have a small sleeve which was to be used on the bolts. Again one i got into the armrest the NOT the other one. I finally just gave up and tightened them up and said the H--L with it. I also do not believe the chrome platting on the underside was as good as my other set. Again the service from WingStuff was very good. |

Happy with the product.
Install was fairly straight forward. Look nicer on the bike than I was expecting. |

Replacements
I bought these to replace the exact same ones, so it was an easy installation. The old ones were 18 years old and still looked great, but the left one had the center bolt break in half and was not repairable. But they did last 18 years!! |

Would order again
Easy to install, looks good on bike. My loves the extra comfort and the cup holder. Had them on my 2004 Goldwing for over 10 years and they still look good. Recently installed another set on a 2016 Goldwing I just purchased. |

WEAK MOUNT, WEAKER CHROME
As noted elsewhere, the only thing holding these on are your back pockets and the plastic trunk sides. Putting any real weight on these is probably not going to work out well. Designed for a persons arms to rest on it and that's all I would recommend.Chrome looks great when new but mine rust pitted and flaked after 2-3 years. I decided rather than spend another 300 coconuts, I'll powder coat them. I have a small set up and hardly cost me anything to do.Now it looks great again and probably will for much longer. |

KURYAKYN ARMREST W/ DRINK HOLDER FOR GL1800
For the price I paid for these armrests I would have thought they would stand up over time but they didn't. They looked great when I got them. The second year I had them I went down to the beach and parked my GL1800 300 yards from the beach. We stayed there 3 days and on the third day I noticed the chrome started peeling off from the salt air breeze. Air bubbles came up underneath the chrome and streaks were on the chrome. I left them on the bike for 13 years until I couldn't stand it anymore and bought a brand new set for $287.99 because I all ready had drilled the holes in the bike and this was the only way to cover them up. |

Second set
Wore out first set, wife wanted them again. Don't like the conflict with opening the trunk, but didn't care for how others mounted either. |

Excellent Arm rests.
These armrests look awesome. They do require some time to install but if you watch the videos that are available it makes it much easier. The most challenging part was getting the bolts to line up after drilling through the metal bracket. I am not the type to normally work on my cars or motorcycles so if I can do it, anyone can. My wife absolutely loves the armrests. |

Everybody has them
I bought these because they are so popular, they must be good. ONE BIG problem, they come with stickers on them stating not to use when boarding or exiting the motorcycle. They will crack your trunk. They are bolted to nothing but plastic! I installed mine with no problems, but it was nerve racking drilling eight holes in the trunk. Wife and I just rode from Austin TX to east coast with no problems however. I had to keep reminding my wife not to use them as a hand rail. If I had it to do over I would buy the ones that bolt to the existing passenger hand rail, no drilling and very strong. |
