Does anyone know if there is a passenger armrest that will work on a 2017 Heritage? My wife loves to ride but she complains she has nothing to do with her arms. Trying to keep her happy. I just upgraded her footpegs to mini-floorboards, so I just need an armrest option.

 

Welcome to the forum from Texas.

I don't know if these will fit a 2017 Heritage, but these two sites may have what you are looking for.

Here is a pic installed on my 2016 Heritage, but those two bikes are almost identical. You have to drill your own holes, and it takes some real planning to get it right. I didn't quite get it perfect, but you almost can't tell. I plan to go back, re-drill and use lock washers to hold it "out of place" since the holes will be a touch big. Use a hair dryer to heat up the back leather plate until you can pull it off (and re-heat again to put it back on when you're done.)

Here's a pic of it on my 2016 FLSTC. Flags are a bit in the way, but you get the gist of it. Studs are optional, but matches the bike as bought, for me.

 

I should mention, since you brought up "to do with her arms", that these armrests are more "elbows only" at best. My wife still rests her hands on my hips or on her legs, but it does provide a lot more "security feeling" for the left/right aspect of leaning, etc. I wouldn't have added it, but she felt like it would offer her a little more security, and after installation, definitely feels better about having it there. The nice thing, too, is that you can remove it anytime, really. Not for "ride to work" taking it off, it wouldn't be that fast of an operation.

 

I went with the tour rest seat back and it looks good. I was able to remove the original seatback by removing the 2 bottom screws and the turning the seat counter-clockwise to remove it. I then tapped off the medallion on the leather plate of the sissy bar, and I was hoping to be able to just push it back on, but that does not seem to be working. Does anyone know how I can reattach the medallion?
