Has anyone tried the product Love Handles ( passenger arm rest kit) on their Nomad, and any feedback please.

I haven't tried them, but I do have them, thanks for point that out! Geez, a guy is a little overweight and everyone wants to talk about him.

I made my own some goldwing arm rest and some homemade brackets.

bokobob · 01-31-2010, 03:54 PM

I would say +1 on the comment "a bit pricey" but at $329 plus shipping, I say they are way overpriced....Not the same type of product by any means, but I got a brand new three piece mustang seat kit with studs and shipping for $539....But, my concern about the high price of the love handle product is about my pocketbook...your's may differ..

dogdoc · 01-31-2010, 05:42 PM

Sounds WAY over priced and will not fit round tubing which is what I have on the stock '05 Nomad 1600.

AlabamaNomadRider · 01-31-2010, 07:42 PM

I came equiped with the love handles. Cost me a fortune to achieve them too. I haven't checked out any of the ones you speak of since my wife doesn't enjoy the pleasure of riding.

Thanks for the info, yeah i have the love handles too, trucking for 35 years will do that.

skeeter · 02-02-2010, 12:54 AM

at least your still flexible......

BandC · 02-02-2010, 08:22 AM

Doc,
They do show mounting for 1" round tube backrests, but I agree, they do seem abit expensive!

The love handles I have been tested & tried they pass all test & have been approved by my wife, she does have the last word. No special tools required to install just a lot of cold beer.
