 Love Handles: A Breakthrough in Passenger Comfort and Security

love handles

 

Motorcycle riders have handlebars to hold on to when they ride... but what about the passenger on the back? A sissy bar helps, but it's still a struggle to get comfortable for the long haul. Now an Albuquerque company has come up with a solution. Love Handles™ Motorcycle Armrests are uniquely designed to help make motorcycle passengers feel more relaxed by giving them something solid and secure (but padded and comfortable) to hold onto. And when the passenger feels more relaxed, she can comfortably lean with the rider during a turn. Now if the wind gets gusty or the road gets bumpy Love Handles gives passengers an extra sense of security. The company's proprietary release system allows armrests to pivot outward for easy-on, easy-off seating. Or just pivot the armrests 180 degrees for an extra luggage carrier designed for lightweight gear.

Love Handles Motorcycle Armrests are constructed in the USA with superior quality materials including chromed steel, aircraft-grade aluminum and the same highly durable, weather-resistant synthetic leather found on the best motorcycle seats.Love Handles attach to the sissy bars found on many Harley-Davidsons, metric cruisers and trikes. Installation is quick and easy, simply remove the pad from the sissy bar, secure the brackets on the sissy bar, mount Love Handles and adjust for height, then replace the pad.Love Handles comes with a 30-day money back guarantee and also carries a lifetime guarantee against product defects.MSRP: $329.00 for classic black (armrests with studs [+$25], fringe [+$30] or flames [+$60] are available at an additional charge)

The story starts when two junior high school teachers, Bill and Mary, the owners of Enchantment Motorsports, first met back in 1970. They spent many years living and working in the Chicago area, and rode together now and then on Bill’s Yamaha cruiser.Fast forward 28 years to when they moved to New Mexico. With more time for riding and great mountain roads beckoning, they bought a Harley Fat Boy. But even with a great bike, cushy seat and sissy bar, there was nothing to grip on longer rides. “Hey Honey…what we need are some armrests,” said Mary. They looked around and found nothing to fit cruisers and decided to design their own. Then other riders started to ask where we got them...and Love Handles was born. Bill adds, “After many designs, prototypes, patents and years of testing, we think Love Handles are just about perfect for most American and Metric cruisers. Easy on and off for the passenger, and quickly detachable for solo rides.” Love Handles Division Enchantment Motor Sports, LLC12231 Academy Rd.
