The bike is in the back of the garage for the duration (winter) so no more pics for now. The install was very simple. My tourpak is mounted on a 4 point docking rack. Basically, all I did was loosen the 4 bolts holding the tourpak to the rack. Then, removing 1 side at a time (2 left bolts or 2 right bolts) I slipped the armrest brackets, with supplied spacers, in between the rack and the tourpak and re-fastened loosely using the new longer bolts. Once both sides were inserted I retightened the tourpak back down.
They suggest removing the tourpak, but I decided not to (less chance of breaking). If I said the install took an hour, I'd be lying. The dealer can print you out a set of installation instructions before you make the purchase. That's what I did.

I've got the armrests on my 2011 UC and the wife really likes them. So much that when we added a 2013 Trike to the garage this December, one of her first requests was for the arm rests on that also. Unfortunatly Harley says their armrests will not fit the trike.
Not sure why, but I went with the Kury arm rests for the trike. Got the added benefit that they also allow you to push the tourpak back 1 to 2 inches if you want. Both Harco and the Kury seem to be well made and seem like they will take abuse. The wife is happy with both and that's whats important on those long 5000 mile rides.

Seeing that he has a detachable tourpack I'm sure they would work with mine but dam thats a price tag! I do like the looks and know on a longer ride the wife would love them. Do they lock in the forward position any chance? My son will be old enough to ride soon and this would be a little more secure if they somehow locked a little.

Thanks for the pictures, I like them as well and the wife asked about them last year. I like the Kury adjustable kit as well to give her more options on room between us!
(My other consideration is that I would like a quick disconnect setup for the tourpack...not sure that will be compatible at all with the rest of this.)
