RIVCO Armrest

[Tango]

Anyone have the RIVCO armrest installed on their RT? How do you like them? Would you buy them again? :dontknow: Thanks Tom. :spyder:

Saw them at the Ultimate Seats demo area last week. Look very nice, not inexpensive. I will likely let the wife test them before buying, they are nice looking.

Tom,
Depends on what your wanting, if all you want is a place to rest an arm they are OK. The weak aspect is the mounting. They attach to the plastic on the inside of the speaker housings on the RT. They are not designed to have much weight placed upon them. Definitely not meant to use your arms and the armrest to re-position yourself in the rear seat.
Buy them again, probably not...

RIVCO armrests

Use on a 2012 rt moved to a 2014 rt. Over 40k on armrests no problems. Wife loves them.

We have them on our 2014 RTL and they look great, however as mentioned, the mounting is not designed to support much weight. They seem a little low for my wife to be really comfortable, so before Spyderfest, I plan on making a bushing/riser to them and adding about 2-3" of height. Would we purchase again? Probably!

Tom,
Have you investigated the BIG BIKE PARTS version?

added some last year for the wife. she likes them because some of the other ones are much higher and just were not comfortable to her. even got them the color to match the ultimate seat.

Just saw them. Seems like they mount the same way as the RIVCO does. Value Accessories has both of them. I guess a call is in order. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:
