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.

Rico armrests
As stated above they do not fold to the middle of the seat. They have enough friction in the folding action to stay where you place them. My wife likes them and they look good on the bike. I recommend if you are installing to use the step drill bit to drill the plastic as this prevents any damage to your speakers. You can buy the step drill at Harbor Freight for about $9.00.

arm rests
We had them installed in late Oct. so not a lot of miles yet. They do swing out for my wife to get on the bike but do not swing into the middle, or swing around, if I'm solo. She loves them! Says she feels locked in and the position supports her arms. They do not support more than very light weight. Other back seaters have tried them on my bike and not cared for them. Good luck.

We have had the RIVCO's on our bike for over a year now and after I put a 1" spacer on them to raise them up Wife really, really loves them:yes: Ours do swivel into the center of the bike as well as out! Hum, they must have made a design change! :dontknow:

It could be that the spacer you used bypassed the stop that prevents the rests from turning inwards.

What kind of spacer did you use and where did you mount it? Are pics possible?

:shocked: I'm curious...
Since these rests only bolt to the plastic speaker housing; how much weight do you think they can support, before you start busing stuff? :dontknow:
I know that Diamond-R's bolt to some solid mounts underneath the seat... I DID manage to have someone bend their mounting bracket, when he laid his 300 pounds into one armrest, during a clumsy moment... :yikes:

They are designed to support 25 lbs each.
The Rivco armrests (same ones Ultimate Seats sells I believe) mount into plastic with 3 rubber expansion plugs (rubber plug expands when the bolt that goes through it has tension placed on it from a nut). My wife is light (120 lbs) and has not as careful as I'd like putting weight on the armrests. So far no issues.

Thanks! :thumbup:So there is some "wiggle-room" in the mount with those rubber plugs: excellent!
The wife loves them.
They do not fold in only out. The tension screw is adjustable. Easy to install and they look good. Plus side the wife is more relaxed and comfortable since I installed them.

Your right! I now remember taking out the "Roll Pin" that prevented them from turning inn. As for the spacer, what I first did was use a of 1/2" PVC connector with 2 plugs to find the height that the wife likes, then had some solid bar stock laying around that I cut and drilled then painted. I do not have any pictures.
