my wife and my son like to ride with me, arm rest's would make her more comfortable, and they'd make my son more secured on the bike. I'd love to find a decent set of arm rest's to go with, or on, my vetter trunk. I'd like it to swivel up and down instead of hinging outward. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I thought about fabricating my own, and having them upholstered to match my seat pads. stationary would be ok, but swiveled would be awesome. here's a pic of what I mean, sorry, its not a very good drawing.

Stationary would work, I wonder how sturdy those are. I still would love a pivoting rest. Just not sure how to fabricate it
 
By sturdy, I mean do they flex, (if rather they dont) and if I were to mount them between the backrest pad and the trunk, would the trunk be strong enough to hold them without breaking the plastic if you were to put any weight against the arm rest. I suppose I could put a Steele plate inside to reinforce it. Any thoughts?
