Passenger Arm Rests for RT

[LEEB]

We purchased our 2014 Spyder RT-S in July. Now my wife would like to consider having arm rests for her comfort while riding passenger with me. I would like to purchase and install a good set of arm rests, but don't want to have to drill any holes anywhere on the bike. Can anyone recommend any arm rests that would be of good quality, and meet my 'no holes' rule? Anyone near South Central Pennsylvania who has arm rests installed that my wife and I could take a look at? Thanks in advance!!!

I am in Baltimore county and I installed the Corbin armrests on my RT. My girlfriend loves them! We ride up to Hanover, PA a decent amount so if you want to meet PM me.

I have a 2012 RT-S and have the Diamond R armrests on my Spyder and my
wife loves them. They are easy to install. (Less than 30 minutes). They are
adjustable and they swing out of the way for easy mount and dismount.
No holes to be drilled. They use existing bolts under the seat. I live in
Philadelphia and would be glad to show you my armrests if your in the area.

No doubt about it. Diamond-R armrests. Be sure to get them with the cup and cupholder. The cup itself is awesome. Best investment I've made for my .

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Diamond R armrest use existing bolt holes in the spyder to install the mounting bracket.
much easier install than some..... only issue is they are not load bearing and care is needed getting on and off the bike to not bend them

I went with these and the wife loves em. if you are ever thinking of adding an Ultimate Seat, they can match that seat as well and they do move out of the way if needed.

I'm in SE Pa. and have a 2014 RT I have Corbin armrests installed, my wife loves them. She had tried lots of others but decided on the Corbins. My bike is available for your wife to sit on if she wants to try some out, let me know. They seem to be more of a solid mount and not as flimsy as some of the others she tried. 0992

I agree! This person let my wife sit on his Spyder and try his out and she loved them! The Corbins make it hard to reach the factory grab handles.

For the Diamond R Armrests! No additional holes needed. They fold in when not in use. You can get them with a cup holder and/or a small pouch. Look at their website, they're a sponsor here. Owners Allen and Patti are great people. Top notch customer service!!

Another vote for DiamondR

[LEEB]

Everyone, thanks for your input! We are visiting a Spyder owner on Saturday to look at his Corbin arm rests. My one concern is one that was voiced above, that is that the hand grips are hard to reach with the Corbin's installed. Many great comments on the Diamond R's. My wife prefers the looks of the Corbin, but after she sits on the bike and tries them, maybe she'll feel differently. The other thing about the Corbin's is that they appear to be much more difficult to install. Thanks again for the input! That is what makes this site/forum so valuable!!

I have the Corbin Armrest/cupholder with a Ultimate Seat. My wife tried the Diamond R, Rivco and Showchrome Armrest at Spyderfest and like the Corbin the best. She like the height, comfort position and the looks of the Corbins. The handgrips may be a little harder to reach but she said she can live with that.

They may cost the most but that's what she wanted since she sits back there. If she's happy and comfortable then I am happy and we can go for longer rides together.

[MouthPiece]

I'll add my two cents. My wife loves her Corbin armrests. Bottom line is that if you have a passenger ride a lot of the time with you, armrests are a must in my opinion.

My issue with all but the Corbins is that they do nothing to hold the passenger from sliding sidewards. This would be my main reason for buying them; that they offer some lateral support.

[SpyderDon]

Does anyone have the Show Chrome arm rest? I like them except that they are chrome, on an RT-S it would be nice if they came in black. I had the Diamond R's on my '10 and the wife wasn't real happy, the cup holder sucked, it only held their cup. I also had difficulty keeping them tight. I must admit they looked pretty good and were an easy install.

[SpyderDon]

I tried to edit the above post to add that I contacted Show Chrome this morning asking about doing the armrest in black. If interested let them know.
