After Guidance/opinions on Passenger Arm Rests for F3-Limited?

[JimH]

I am looking to add passenger arm rests for my 2017 F3 Limited; this will help both me and any passenger feel more comfortable going around corners where they might otherwise feel they will fly off. I do not ride two-up often, but I would like to start doing it more often.

I see Lamonster has two offerings for the F3 Limited:

https://www.lamonstergarage.com/rivco-passenger-armrests-for-can-am-spyder-f3-limited-models/

The RIVCO website has no reviews on them. I would like to make sure my investment is wise, and that the install is pain free. My F3 limited has heated passenger hand grips (which I never wanted) - do I need to do anything special with these, since they will no longer be connected to anything? I would like to avoid draining the battery or shorting something.

Thanks in advance for any guidance or opinions you can offer, I appreciate all.

Regards,
Jim

We just added the "Adjustable Passenger Armrest Kit for Can am Spyder F3 2015+" to our 2019 Can Am Spyder F3 Limited. I can't speak to the others, but the arm rests we got are very solid and secure and feel well built. Installation was crazy easy, and we were up and running in less than an hour. I did get ours used and they were very cheap, but I would have paid full price for them.

Please let me know if you have any specific questions.

Thanks,
James

I went with the first set linked. They look more OEM and some other rivco products I have had, the chrome rusted and peeled within a few years. AS for the heated passenger grips, you can just put a piece of heat shrink tube over the ends to keep things out. Or get some plugs that match and use those plugs for something like a phone charger plug in.

My bike has a set of Cobrin armrest. Wife loves them!
