Armrest to keep the backseat happy

delivery58 · 09-13-2009, 09:42 PM

Those in the know, keep the backseat happy and the ride can go longer and smoother (that's a nice way of saying " sit down, shut up and hold on". Well, I always thought the Goldwing armrests were nice, so I fab up my own rendition to fit my (also hand built), rack with the 84 Venture Trunk. ""ya Honey... I'll wake you up when we get there...."

Very, very nice----great craftsmanship.

I used the Goldwing arms with a rack I made for the same trunk, but I like your arms better maybe I will change mine since I am redoing the trunk because I broke the bottom out of the one I had. After looking at yours again I don't have the same trunk mine is an 87.

Well done! Besides comfort, it looks like a nice safety feature for your passenger as well.

Nice job! Mind sharing your plans for the brackets and what you used for the arm rests?

I'll post some close-up pics or send some to you.

I would also like to have some close-up pictures (along with detailed instructions:). They look great.
