• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Arm Rests

Two questions: 1. My wife is 5'. Are the armrests adjustable for height? 2. I just ordered armrests from the dealer without thinking about after-market rests. Anyone have information about what BRP provides?

Thanks.
 
Diamond R

Bob D, I do have the newest passenger armrests & cupholder plus drivers cup holder. Do you need to see more pictures?

Actually, I'm not sure. When I bought the Spyder, I asked if "they" made armrests for it. The dealer said yes and they had some in stock. Then he said that the set they had didn't fit the RT, so he ordered the right ones. I made the (always dangerous) assumption that they were from Can Am, but it's very possible that they ordered after-market. They should be in by now, so I'll go tomorrow and find out more. I'll let you know.

Have Diamond R now for abt 3 yrs. Wife loves them! The fasten under the seat and are very sturdy. The swivel aspect of them is great. They have a little longer "pillow" on them than some I've seen.

Some people like the swivel aspect. But I hated it. So I took out the nylon washers, replaced them with tension (spring) lock washers, and used weld-it in the tubes. No more swivel. I am happy now.

My dealer ordered Big Bike Parts armrests for my RTL. Looking on line, I can only find them for a Goldwing. They swing out for ease of the passenger climbing aboard, but I think they are unattractive - and I don't know how they mount or how well they would fit on the RT. Anyone have any experience with those?

Also, is there any difficulty with the passenger getting on or off with the Diamond R or others that you have used?

Height adjustment?

Haven't seen this mentioned yet. Are the Diamond R arm rests the only ones that offer a height adjustment? I didn't see this listed in the details for any other arm rest. :sour:
For my installation this would be important.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.
