Cup Holders

I've had the bike almost two months now & need to start adding some bling. Can someone point me in the direction of some KEWL cup holders? I have to start with the important stuff first. -Rich

J&P Cycle carry all kinds of stuff like that, as well as most HD dealers, there are some that I like that mount on the rear crash bars for the passenger.

If you're looking for what works...here's what I use. It's just a bicycle water bottle cage I bolted on my mirror mount. It's not real Kewl looking, but it's very functional.

Just posted in the general area and then I read your post.
Lay a water bottle between the handle bar and windshield. Stays nice as long as there is some water to give it a little weight. (Empty water bottles can be refilled with the beverage of your choice). Enjoy the bling, that's the fun part of ownership.

I agree with Zinger. The bicycle water bottle holder works great. Close at hand for easy use. When I had the pull back risers I used to put the water bottle between them and windshield.

Thank you all. After I posted this I went to Gadget's page & saw the bike water bottle thing there. Your picture is much clearer than the one on Gadgets page BOB. Easier to understand. I'm going to check & see if I can get one in chrome for the bling factor. -Rich

the only thing that worries me about bicycle chrome cup holders are they will rust pretty fast as all bicycle stuff does. if you could find an aluminum one that would work well.

Now I need a chrome aluminum bike bottle holder.

Hey BOB, what is that black post on your handle bars, just inside of your master cylinder? It looks like some sort of radio antenna.

Most bicycle water cages are anodized aluminum. Mine is chromed aluminum.

That post is for a Panduit camera mount. See my complete mount on Gadgets page. http://www.gadgetjq.com/cammount.htm

Personally, I'm not one to mount a bicycle water bottle holder on my bike. These are nice - http://www.kruzerkaddy.net/ I saw one in a local shop the other day and they look really good.

I'll admit the chrome looks better.
