Hi all the Mandan newbie here.. Just wondering what you experienced spyder people have found to be a comfortable armrest for my wife. I know she will also want a waterbottle holder also. Any advice and or pictures would be of a great help to us as we start to put things together we need to go places. Thanks for your spyder owners support. Craig & Lori

Diamond R makes armrests that are movable and there are also several fixed types armrests available. I was going to add that Rivco, a site sponsor also has armrests and cupholders too but the next poster beat me to it.

I put a set of the Rivco armrests on over the winter, so we haven't had a chance to put any time on 'em. But the Mrs sat on the bike and said "oh yeah, this will be a lot better".....so, time will tell. Fair price I thought, and a pretty easy install too. Check em out, they're a sponsor here on the site. On the Home Page. I chose em because they came pretty highly recommended by folks here on S/L
My wife really likes the Corbin armrests. They were a little pricey, but they are really solid and secure. I added a cup holder to the existing screws.

I own the Show Chrome Accessories 41-159 Passenger Armrest. It was the first purchase for the RT and they have had many miles on them and my passenger.
Attached to them are a cup holder and a mesh storage bag for each side.

We have the Diamond-R brand. My wife really likes them. They add to her comfort and even though they swing away to allow boarding, she feels a sense of security as well. Just remember they are not designed to support much weight so don't lean heavy on them when dismounting the bike. A hand from her husband is still the best support.
We have the RIVCO's on our RT, after I raised them up with a spacer between the mounting bracket and armrest, Wifi realy likes them. Plus I personally like the look of them as well!

Another pitch for the Show Chrome ones, and you can get them from a sponsor ............. SPYDERPOPS
