Passenger arm rests

[jhinderliter]

Has anyone rigged up passenger arm rests for the passenger for the FJR yet?

i love this bike and it represents a new dynamic in my motorcyclist evolution

the only mods ive done to this bike are for comfort... i have the trunk/backrest

for the wife , russell seat , commo/tunes , peg extentions for both of us , good wind protection

from the V stream and i recently made a set of floorboards based on knifemakers design...

just wondering what the next thing would be for passenger comfort...

thanks

I can't see what arm rests would mount to. They'd have to flip up out of the way for mounting/dismounting, and they'd have to be sturdy enough to use - well, as armrests. The top case won't hold them up. You'd have to have some kind of Rube Goldberg bracket rigged up from the subframe, which would probably interfere with the side bags.

If she needs arm rets, put her in a Cadillac and have her meet you there.

Arm rest just might interfear with your steering. They work much better in a cage.

You can adapt this beauty from the snowmobile world, with bonus drivers back rest:

Or this from the cruiser world, with bonus safety features:

There are hundreds of Goldwing arm rests that could be adapted to the FJR:

The next thing just might be a Goldwing. Sounds like your half way there with your FJR already.

Put a properly adjusted length bungee cord around your passengers neck and hook one end to the right sleeve and one end to the left sleeve of their jacket, an Voila!! arm rests. Portable , adjustable, shock absorbing and cheap.
