New Passsenger armress for the RT

[ahh-cool]

I just looked at my Rivco armrests and the top of the pad is even with the top of the speaker

Thank you!!

Great post, you may be the first to have installed them. Now I have some thinking to do???

I just finished the install a couple of days ago. Yes, it's a pretty basic job requiring that you remove the rear body panel, passenger backrest and armrest/speaker side panels. The only part that is replaced is the soft cushion part on top of the armrest/speaker panel. If you have a stock passenger backrest it's a real simple job...but does take some additional work if you have a custom backrest.

Both armrests flip-up and out of the way. The wife loves it :clap:and the height is perfect for her ... think the added cushion that the Ultimate seat provides raises her up high enough to not poise a height problem that was mentioned earlier in the thread.

Aloha!

Expect to see those installed and ready for the Nor-Cal Spyder Rally in September!:yes:

I'll call my dealer and see how long it will take to get in. Bike's put to bed for another 9 weeks at least, still lots of snow on the ground.

Can they be installed on a '13 rts?

I know, we are all anxiously waiting to see your new beauty! Have you decided on a name yet?:dontknow:

Since it's Black and Gold: we're sort of leaning toward "Bandit"...
But nothing has been decided.

Dealer says they will be in in a week. Install will have to wait a bit after that.

BRP advertises that this new RT passenger armrest will fit "All Spyder RT models".

I was lucky to find mine on Ebay for $349 with free expedited shipping to the continental US.
Ordered on 01/17 and received it in 2 days from In Stock Parts, Toms River, NJ.

When i was on the BRP web site, the part # doesn't show. I phoned my dealer and he had no problems ordering it.

Thanks guys, i'll dig out in another 7 or 8 weeks.........
