Elbow Landing Device Has Arrived!

After waiting more than 3 weeks (it was out of stock), my TVA ELD finally arrived. It looks great, and was easy to install. I wasn't sure at first how I was supposed to get it under the plastic console piece, but I used a large screwdriver to sort of pry it up a little on both sides. Worked like a charm. One thing I hadn't considered is that I like my seat pumped all the way up (I like riding high in the saddle). Because of this, I have to lean pretty far over to be able to use the armrest. So all of you high riders, be aware of this before you order any armrest. Happy Motoring!

I,ve had my ELD for about three weeks now and can,t figure how I motored without it.I find I have to tighten the bolts that hold it together every few days.I sit low in the saddle and find myself leaning over also ,just so comfy on the old elbow I guess

Get some loc-tite on the bolts. That should solve the problem, if it's just a matter of them loosening up.
