Height adjustable would be nice also.

Tires, oil it's kind of like that, I would recommend the BRP arm rest, I tried the other type that swing out (Show Chrome Passenger Armrest Kit 41-159) but found that the BRP ones that fold up are better, seem to give better support.

Hi Lew, hope your getting some riding in. Up here it's all dense smoke for the past 2 months. Anyway, my wife Tracey really likes the BRP ones I bought her a few years ago. They are not adjustable height, but because they don't swing outwards, she feels like she can't fall out. But if she doesn't want them, they flip up out of the way.

Thanks Ray, Bruce and others. Appreciate your thoughts. I had some on my Valkyrie That would swing out sideways but we'll see what my wife really wants.

Ray---- how do you like the ECU flash?? I still am liking the extra power. Smokey and hot here also.

Fold ups are clearly the best for mount and dismount. With the 20 an 21 RTL I think the swing out is the only thing that will work. I find OEMs very mickey mouse, the swing out is so minimal that mount and dismount is difficult for the passenger. Thought has crossed my mind to see if I can tear into the stop mechanism and make the arm swing wider at least on the left side. Here's the thing, I know how it goes when I try to fix something that's OEM, it usually turns out badly.

Our 2014 RT Ltd has the Rivco arm rests we purchased from Ultimate Seats as they matched the armrest material and color to the seat. My sweetheart likes them while I like the way they look.

I guess I got used t it, that is until I swapped bikes with a friend, and realized how much power he doesn't have.

Glad your liking the "boost". Don't tell anyone how good it is----------------

The BRP factory ones are extremely sturdy, takes 45 minutes to install. Wish someone would come up with a good cup holder for passenger (and driver) for the 2021
