Cup holders
I know that some of you have installed the handlebar mounted cup holders, now the problem I find with most of them is they want to rotate and move every which way when riding. There has gotta be a way to adjust them so they are stationary? Any ideas?

I've had this one http://tinyurl.com/y9teu2sf for 4-5 years now, on my wing, than Nomad and now my Voyager. Only thing I had to do was make the mount out of aluminum as the original dried out and cracked........Mike

Yes, there is. Go to Walmart, Target, etc and spend less than $10 on a black or stainless cup holder for a bicycle. Actually, when I bought mine they were $5.99 I think. They mount firmly and solid. No movement. The bad thing about that is if you drop your bike, your coffee/soda/water will spill and splash on the the paint.

I put the Huffy bicycle cup holder on mine, had to make a clamp to fit the bars, but it looks nice, black vinyl, looks like leather, just trim the huffy tag off, and no=one will know the difference, walmart, less than 10 bucks

That's the one I used. I machined out the 7/8" clamp to 1" and its rock solid.

No cup holder on Lucille.
I found that a 32 oz. Styrofoam drink cup (size available at most burger joints) fits nicely between the handlebar risers and the windshield. A 1 Ltr. bottle stays put nicely as well. Just got back from a 4000 mile bike trip and both stayed put. |

Thx 4 the huffy info, wally world had them for $7 figured worth a try. Removed the bicycle clamp used some pipe hanger. Wrapped that in black electrical tape. Mounted up seems 2 be sturdy. Not a new sticky here but cheap.

I had the Kruzer Kaddy for years.
After a bad experience, read spilled soda everywhere, all I used it for was sunglasses and other small items. After parts of it started rusting I removed it. I don't miss it. http://www.jafrum.com/shop-by-brand/...zerKaddyChrome

Ive had the Kruzer Kaddy mounted on the sissy bar for the misses for years. Found a black plastic one from Kuryakyn that I can just remove the cup holder part when not using after spilling untold amount from placing drinks with lids on the triple tree/risers. I finally got smart and placed it behind the windshield of my fairing to keep bugs off of the straw or lip of the cup...

I had a hard time keeping mine from rotating every which way. I cut a piece of an old garden hose, about an inch, sliced it so I could get it on the handlebar and put the bracket over it. Seems okay.

I picked up Kruizer Kaddy about 5yrs ago in chrome, its rock solid. Stopped in at a Harley event with different vendors and this guy had quite a few, the boxes were beat up but the product was in brand new conditon $25.
