The only thing I have ever seen is the Corbin. That's what I have on my bike. Even so they are not actually full armrests, more like elbow rests.

I have arm rests I made for my trike, B2Dad's trike and a friend of B2Dad/B2Mom's Voyager trike. Due to requests from other members I have made up 4 other sets. If interested let me know.

These will not have studs on them as shown in the below pic. In fact I'm taking those pads off later and replacing them due to the studs rusting, not stainless steel. In operation the arm rest lifts up for passengers to either climb aboard or off. Diamond R also sells a set that attaches to the grab handles. That model's arm rest swings outward which I feel isn't good for a trike but OK for 2 wheelers.

I have seen this one on Cruiser Customizing. Its discontinued, but they still have inventory left. It is a OEM accessory.

i saw that one how does it look because it is $60 cheaper than the OEM part. I am going to take the pillow topped backrest and have a upolstrer sew them together on the new oem part so it matches the seat?

Corbin made the OEM one also. They made the option dual touring seat for the RSV when they were available. It will NOT match the stock OEM seat though. Only the optional seat that was once available from Yamaha.

 

I have the Corbin seat with that passenger backrest on my '99 but mine came directly from Corbin and not Yamaha. The difference is that mine does not have the "star" logos but is just smooth.
