The Love Story behind Love Handles

Bill & Mary ride their H-D Fatboy at the Grand Canyon

Our story starts back in 1970 when two junior high school teachers, Bill and Mary, first met. Fast forward 28 years to when we got married then moved to New Mexico. We loved it, but that great old Yamaha we’d been riding in Chicago was huffin’ and puffin’ up the New Mexico mountains, with Mary holding on for dear life!

So after many Saturdays at our local Harley dealer, “Lola” entered our lives. Sort of a funny name for a big, juicy, chrome-laden Fat Boy, but you know how the song goes, “Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets.” Same can be said for Mary, because 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 ~ just like we have in the car!”...and Love Handles armrests for motorcycles was born, giving her (and you) something comfortable and secure to hold onto.

Now after 5 years of designs, prototypes, patents and many miles of testing, we think it’s just about perfect. Easy on & off for the passenger, quickly detachable for the biker. A sleek, streamlined design that works with the beauty of your bike, all chrome, black anodized aluminum and the feel of leather. So if you own a Metric bike or have an American ride, Love Handles Motorcycle Passenger Armrests will adapt to your sissy bar.

We manufacture Love Handles right here in New Mexico and Texas, working with great fabricators and upholsters, because we think keeping the jobs here is the right thing to do.

Most important of all, your favorite passenger can relax and enjoy the ride ~ and that will make it more fun for you both. And more fun means more rides!

But keep in mind that we created Love Handles arm rests for comfort – the safety is still in your hands. So keep the shiny side up and Love the Road...Love the Ride!
