Would you guys mind asking your passengers what they do to protect the paint on the hand grips and top of the saddle bags from wearing? When we rented the 2012 Vision over the weekend, I noticed a perfect place to rest my hands from time to time was on the hand grips and the top of the saddle bags. I'm not real sure I want arm rests yet, but I don't want to wear the paint either. What do the other passengers do (or don't do)?

One trip with the passenger armrests and my wife will never allow me to remove them. She loves her armrests w/ a cupholder built in.

And....that reminds me. Are there any other passenger cup holders besides those on arm rests? For instance, one that would bracket around the hand grip? I would also like to ask - is the cupholder that is built in to the arm rests shallow - a large cup could blow out so you have to keep a hand on it to keep it from flying out?

I modified a Kruzer Kaddy to fit around the grab rails for my lady. Used an old inner tube under the clamp to protect the paint. Pictures can be found in the Tech Section...and it doesn't interfere with opening/closing of the saddle bag.

I ordered a set of covers from Dragon Bob Designs. Others members have used them and are very happy,I'm sure I will be also.

Kuryakyn cupholder, standard size. Same as the HD and wing rests you guys sell for those bikes.
