Armrest - Show Chrome - GL1800
One of the easiest installs we have ever done. Yes I said we, since these were for my co-rider, my lovely wife, I let her do the work. She did it!!!!!! They have what appears to be a good chrome job and great upholstery work on the armrest them selves. I did purchase stainless steel hardware and installed them to hold the armrest themselves after checking out the others owned by friends we ride with. Good product so far we will review them at a later date with and update. |

Great Item....
No drilling, just remove handles, screw them back with the armrests and the job is done. My wife loves them. |

Sturdy
Installed on a 2012. Took about 45 minutes and the fit was good. They are very sturdy and they do not have to swing out to open the trunk. Looked at the chrome becuase of earlier post and everything looked good. Happy with the purchase. |

Passenger armrests
My wife loves these armrests. I like the mounting attachment to the passenger handles instead of the trunk antenna because it is more secure and easier to install. |

Just a quick note. Had these installed on my 02 1800 and the wife loved them. Removed them to install on my 2012 when my after-market seat came in. The left side won't fit due to the heated seat/backrest control knob for the passenger. The bracket, to match the holes for the seat, sits tightly against the knob, and this without the seat bolts being "started" yet (anyone who's ever installed a seat on an 1800 knows how much fun this is). We decided to try another brand of armrests. She hated to give these up, but with the extra side padding on the new seat, just wouldn't fit. Hope this helps |

I checked out the finish on the product before installing and I didn't find any flaws in the chrome work or the armrest pads, I have installed quite a few Show Chrome products on various Wings and never had problems. I didn't have a problem tightening the swing out bolt on the armrests as was mentioned in a couple of reviews. Installation was a breeze it took me all of 30mins. They look great on and I think the wife will be very pleased, she mentioned the other day the only thing that would make the ride more comfortable on the rear would be armrests. |

Good product. The only drawback is difficulty in removing the seat. I have attached an accessory port for plugging in an XM Skydock, and I have attached the J&M passenger's intercom and CB switch on the left side. Easy install, although I agree with others' comments that design might be a bit simplistic. However---when the rubber washers wear out, they can be replaced easily. I'm happy with the way these look and perform, so far. |

Very easy to install product seems pretty well made. My reason for only three stars are the nuts supplied did not fit the bolts and the nuts and bolts were extremely cheap chinese junk. 1st blot broke while tightening. I had to replace the nuts and bolts with a run to the hardware store. Replaced with like chrome 3" 1/4 20 bolts and nylon self locking brass nuts. Worked out OK. |

Bought these for my wife's birthday a couple of weeks ago and installed them today. Very nice product, but had some problems with installation. The directions are adequate with pretty good drawings.When I opened the parts bag there were two extra( or so I thought)metal washers.You will need these! This isn't a hard install as far as being complicated the problem was putting the long 6mm bolts back through the hand rails and new bracket.The right side was easy but the left side for some reason was a bear to line up, after several curses and finally a bended knee and prayer they went in. At one point I thought I had stripped the female fitting inside the seat.I had to push down on the seat to get them to line up.Next the swing arms that hold the armrest cushions were different. On one side the nylon washers fit inside the bracket, as shown. the other side I could not get both washers inside the bracket ( this is where the two metal washers come in)The metal washers aren't shown in the swing arm install sheet but you will need them here. The wife does love them and that is the bottom line. They look very nice on the bike,too. |

Actually bought and installed these last summer. Thought I had submitted my review but it appears that I hadn't so here it is. Would have given it 5 stars, but was kind of a pain to install and the washer and pivot system could designed a bit better. Anyway, the product is solid! I didn't like the trunk mounted styles because the wife is short and tends to use the arm rests to help her get on the bike, and I saw many broken trunks in my future. Again these are very solid and secure. |

Very good product and the installation was straight forward. I really enjoy not have to open the armrests before opening the truck like I had to do on my GL1500. The wife says they are very comfortable. |

Great product with strong mounting. My wife loves these arm rests and they make for a more enjoyable ride for her. I mounted a Butler drink holder for her easy use while riding. The installation of the right arm rest could not be installed without moving the volume control and PTT. See photos in gallery. |
