Sorta cheeesey armrests

terbear · 08-11-2008, 07:10 PM

Hi Everyone,

Haven't posted for a while, but have been reading the forum plenty.

I recently added a set of arm rests to my trunk, check out the pics.

Thats right, they are from an office chair, they work really well, they swivel out of the way for mounting and dismounting, plus are adjustable up and down.

My wife has a condition where she is not supose to let her arms dangle down, or her fingers will go numb. We put on 275 miles on Saturday, no problems.

They look a little wierd, but a happy wife is a good thing to have. :)

Hey, making the wife happy will make your rides more enjoyable. They look pretty good also.

I was prepared for some really bad looking arm rests, those don't look bad at all.

socwkbiker · 08-11-2008, 08:00 PM

Bro, that's brilliant! Looks great.

mrfuni · 08-11-2008, 08:09 PM

Looking good :)

That is a nice setup you got there. What kind of office chair was it from? I gotta take a look at some of the old ones laying around school now.....

**ringadingh** · 08-11-2008, 08:42 PM

Theres nothing wrong with that setup if it does the job for you. It doesn't even look that bad either. It amazing how resourceful you can be when theres a problem to be solved.
