Arm Rests

New owner. Purchased arm rests for GL1500. installed, but they seem to swing in and out on thier own. Is there any way to have them lock in place after passenger is on board?

Welcome to GoldWing Talk Wingrider95

Are the armrest original?

[wingrider95]

No, they are after market thru e-bay. Seller says that 100's of these have been sold with no complaints but I cant believe no one is compaining about arm rests that swing in the breeze or your passenger feels like they have to hold them in instead of resting on them. Any ideas?
By the way, thanks for the welocme. Always wanted a Wing and now I really am pleased with it. It is really Cruising at its finest!!

Were al the washers etc supplied with these arm rests. I have fitted a few sets of these to 1500's and they should be quite tight while being loose anough for the pasernger to move them out of the way. Try fitting some thin washers between teh arms and there brakets.

Yes, I can the original armrest are supplied with lock nuts, you could try that or what Dougal said, you can also use feather rings and just turn them on tide, and you're armrest want function as a directory pointer anymore

and Try, thanks for sending this customer to MY forum
