Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my bike?

This is a Universal Armrest to fit on all standard sissy bars. If your backrest is at least 8 to 9 inches high from the top of the seat, the Armrest slips between the backrest and the sissy bar.

We have two sizes available; the standard size fits an 8 to 9-inch wide sissy bar and the extra wide, fits up to 12-inch sissy bar.

How wide of backrest will fit between the pads?

The standard model will fit up to a 12-inch backrest. The extra wide model will fit up to a 15-inch backrest.

What are the measurements between the pads?

The space between the pads on the standard model is 15-inches. On the extra wide model the distance is 17-inches.

How far do they extend forward in front of the backrest?

Our Armrests will extend approximately 5-inches in front of your backrest. This depends on the thickness of your backrest.

What is the size of the pads?

The pads on our Armrests are 3-inches wide by 8-inches long. The foam is 2-inches thick and covered by hand sewn black vinyl.

Does the Armrest rise up or swing out?

No, they are mounted stationary to the sissy bar and backrest, it only extends out about 5 inches forward from the front of the back rest allowing sufficient space for easy mounting and dismounting.

What are your Armrests made of?

1/8-inch thick by ¼-inch wide 5052 Marine Alloy Aluminum, powdered coated in black gloss.

Will I need longer bolts for the backrest?

No! The bracket is only 1/8-inch thick, about the thickness of a washer, so you should not need longer bolts.

My sissy bar is recessed into the back of the backrest.
Will this still work?

Yes! In this case you will need our Spacer Kit to fill in the area, to make it even with the rear of the backrest.

What is the mounting area of the Armrest?

The mounting area of the armrest is from 2-inches to 6-inches above the top of the rear seat. Any bolts that mount the backrest to the sissy bar in this area can be used to mount the Armrest.
