I got the Rivco arm rests on the motorcycle today. Quite an install; although the longest time was taken trying to get the Ultimate Passenger back rest attached - hard to do because of the Rivco arm rests. I had to go get longer bolts. The 6m pan heads were not long enough and I had to go with 6m "bolts"... to get 1/4" more ... and that was testy... but any longer and I would have had to cut them off.
I found that drilling and attaching the top fastener on the arm rest and then marking for the side location was much easier than trying to mark both locations at the same time.
On the Ultimate seat.... I had to have my wife give me a push to get the motorcycle off the stand. I just could not get any traction... my feet did not have enough ground contact. I was ok once the motorcycle was on the ground... still have somewhat less maneuver ability to use my feet - but it is minimal. I think as I learn how to get along with the seat - things will calm down.
I have an Ultimate seat on my 1600 Road Star.... and I absolutely love it so I am going to put up with the hassle that comes with this new one because on long trips this seat will be worth every dime!
