Passenger Armrest

Looking for armrest to please the co-rider more than anything LOL, only set I've found is from Ultimate Seat, has anyone tried these or know of another brand?

Kinda ugly in my opinion....the only thing I've see that really looks nice is a HD tour trunk with backrest that includes arms. It's what I'd like to have but a bit out of my price range, being retired and all. Besides, I'd never be able to figure out how to install the thing.

An HD Tour Pak as mentioned would be the best, or the early 80's Gold Wings had armrests available as well. The Honda armrests I think were an option with the rear trunk But Im not 100% sure.

" Just be sure to make sure you request the quick release hinge pin when you order.

besides being the only one I've found specific to the Nomad that's a huge feature easy removal. She got so used to the armrests on the Goldwing, so...gotta make her happy ya know
