The ATV Lounge is the perfect toolbox/rider armrest!!!

I welded a few angle brackets to an old ATV rack and mounted an ATV lounge. Besides the storage I can lounge on the armrests going down the road.

Interesting out of the big thinking. That must be a drain on the fuel efficiency.

There is a fair chance that that added stress will crack the rear sub-frame. This is not uncommon on ST1100's that carry a top case. I no longer have an ST1100 but someone on here can post a photo showing you where the sub-frame needs to be reinforced.

This is cool, matches nice, I would be pondering Andrew's comment about the stress. This feels like one of those "I can, but should I?" projects.

If you weld it, they will come.

It's mostly empty thanks to the saddlebags. I usually get 35-40 mpg mostly thanks to my 350 lbs. You have me worried now because I do pile about 80lbs on for camping but I tie the front down to the Passenger peg so it's not all trying to go backwards

I forgot to share my riding position when lounging on the armrests

Well that's a new one on me. Never heard of it over here. Givi Top boxes on all my 1100s, all used well, particulary on tour. 33 years worth of wear and 170,000 miles on the outfit!
