mini-muffin Posted June 3, 2009 #2 Posted June 3, 2009 Most of the guys I've seen use the Schwinn water bottle holder you can bolt it to the master cylinder bolts and then the OXO cup (bed bath and beyond they don't leak and hold up to keeping stuff hot or cold really well) Margaret
dynodon Posted June 3, 2009 #3 Posted June 3, 2009 I put on a water bottle holder from Wally World, and cut the top part off. Made a bracket from 1/8" X 1 1/4" aluminum strap for my Gen I, don't know why you couldn't do something like that for a Gen 2. Made the same basic setup for my wife's Honda Shadow Ace, using longer bolts from the hardware store. I have the VenureRider insulated cup that works just fine. the cup holder I got has a rubber strap that is adjustable for big to small cups. Only problem is that the rubber strap tends to grab the cup when I want to take it or put it back, but if I twist the cup slightly when removing/replacing it, it goes fine. Never has come close to coming out. The insulated cup I got from this site, holds ice for more than a day in 90+ degree heat! They should offer it again if it isn't still offered.
Mariner Fan Posted June 3, 2009 #4 Posted June 3, 2009 I've had this black plastic cup holder on my bike for quite awhile. I really like it. http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/marinerfan/default/pegs-003--large-msg-121968102711.jpg
Art708 Posted June 3, 2009 #5 Posted June 3, 2009 I have that same black plastic one....it's a "Barefoot Willie" I think. I've had one of those on my last 5 motorcycles.......about 20 bucks.
Leadwolf56 Posted June 3, 2009 #6 Posted June 3, 2009 I just have the wife hold my drink........ (Just wait until she sees this.........)

ediddy Posted June 3, 2009 #8 Posted June 3, 2009 Hey Leadwolf56, You used to get your wife to hold the cup. LOL
ediddy Posted June 3, 2009 #9 Posted June 3, 2009 I've been using the kruzer kaddy for a few years. I found one at a harley shop on sale for $24.95. www.kruzerkaddy.net.
Eddie Fulmer Posted June 3, 2009 #10 Posted June 3, 2009 I did the Wally world thing. Works great and really cheap. had several comments on it. I like the adjustable strap. I can put a large cup or a small on in it. It doesn't have to be tight just a little snug.
Eck Posted June 3, 2009 #11 Posted June 3, 2009 Wally World water holder...$4.95 Cut it off as shown in photos Install using a "P" clamp over handle bars.
Monty Posted June 3, 2009 #12 Posted June 3, 2009 I have a Kruzer Kaddy also, but mine is chrome and cost $40.
1joeranger Posted June 4, 2009 #13 Posted June 4, 2009 I took my "Barefoot Willie" cup holders and turned them into brackets for my speakers I just purchased: http://www.gooddeals18.com/category/motorcycle_audio/ The speakers did not come with any brackets in which to mount to the bars. The cup holder brackets worked perfectly. I then used some electrical conduit brackets and reattached my Barefoot Willie cup holders! Turned out very nice without looking junky! So I recommend these McGiver cup holders!!!
The Black Pearl Posted June 4, 2009 Author #14 Posted June 4, 2009 THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO I LIKE ECK'S SET UP AND LIKE THE ADJUSTABLITY FOR DIFFERENT BOTTLES HEADING TO WALLY WORLD TOMORROW THANKS GUYS:cool10:
Dragonslayer Posted June 4, 2009 #15 Posted June 4, 2009 Hey Guys I need opinions, my coffee cup holder from my 1st gen doesnt work right on my 2nd gen so i am looking for suggestions to what you guys use and like i really hate to spend 80 bucks on a coffee cup but i drive 65 miles to and from work everyday and i am dying without my java HELPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might be interested in your first gen cup holder if your not gonna be using it. I haven't been able to find one that works on my first gen.
mountainhorsega Posted June 4, 2009 #16 Posted June 4, 2009 I have the wally world holder but went to home depot and got an insulted EMT strap (for holding electric pipe against walls or whatever) I did have to cut a small strip of rubber to put inside it to thicken it up a bit but it won't scratch the chrome. The bolt that comes with the cup holders is a 5mm (If I remember right or a 6mm if I don't). My wife is wanting to replace her cruzercaddy because it tilts and dumps stuff out it you get something a little taller in it.
Iowawegian Posted June 4, 2009 #17 Posted June 4, 2009 Found this idea in "Cheap mans tips and tricks" here on the webs: Take a foam can holder, cut the bottom out and slip it on your gas can cover. Didn't cost him a dime and he loves it.
The Black Pearl Posted June 5, 2009 Author #18 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) HEY GUYS JUST A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INPUT! GOT IT ALL SET UP TONIGHT CANT WAIT TO HAVE MY MORNING COFFEE!!!!!!! Edited June 5, 2009 by The Black Pearl
