    I’ve ordered quite a few solutions from the ‘net and eventually ripped them off of my bike and thrown them away in utter disgust.

    Maybe I’ll just go to PVC and some 100mph duct tape. And finish it with Plastic-Dip spray.

    Fuck yea...

    My inexpensive Willy's cup holder on the cross bar of the Helibars has really worked great. But now that is where I want to put the GPS. Have you tried the RAM mount swivel cup holder?

    Jimmytee,

    I am looking for a solution whereas I can reach down with my right hand and pull up my drink (cruise control engaged during the long stretches). I don't want a cup holder in front of me...

    The right rear saddlebag protection bar (forward portion) is the perfect mounting point.. but I am going to have to rig up something on my own. Nothing on the market that satisfies me at this point...

    this is my solution




    i never much cared for the cup holder on the handlebars

    bought the cup holder at wally world in the bicycle dept for aboot 8 bucks, and the hardware was aboot a buck and a half





    i dremeled the angle on the nylon spacer, and plan to cover it with some black shrink tubing




    of course it was easier with the air wings already in place
    What? Coffee ISN'T free?

    It came chrome plated, I had it stripped and powder coated to match the 2013 black.
