I ordered my passenger arm rests from J&P cycles online they were a bit expensive, but then anything you buy any more has an inflated price especially accessories for a Harley even the after market products are high that’s why we love swap meets sometimes we have found some really good deals. I was so excited to get them and it only took 3 days, I opened the box and stared at the chrome and imagined them already on the bike and traveling in luxury with my cup holder attached.

I was horrified when we tried to put them on last night and the darn things didn’t fit. The instructions they sent also sucked so I went online to see if I could find better ones, I found it funny when I typed in “passenger arm rests for champion trikes” and my blog was first on the search list. When we ordered them we hadn’t really thought about maybe they wouldn’t be usable for a trike because I’ve seen them on trikes before. Bill tried every position possible and even raised the tour pack because there wasn’t much space to add them.

If we still had the 2 wheel Harley dresser they would have been a piece of cake to add, talk about frustration and my vision of luxury and comfort going down the drain. Bill said this morning that he may be able to modify it with a length of steel attached under the tour pack so he could extend the holes out further and make it possible for me to have these, if anyone can come up with an idea that will work it’s Bill and not destroy the trike in the process or make it look dorky.

The thought of repacking my beautiful passenger arm rests and sending them back feels me with dread. At any rate I hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend with sunny skys we’re suppose to have rain all weekend, but that’s subject to change although it doesn’t look very promising right now.
