Default Motorcycle Drink Thing

After the Rally I figured out that I want a cup holder. There are a few options out there like the Kruzer Kaddy but I don't want that huge cup sitting there looking all big.

UGLY!


I knew of this better alternative at the local MC leather shop.

Motorcycle Drink Thing $25-$26 Much cleaner design, and locally made in Taylor, MI. Oh and let's not forget to mention... HALF THE PRICE of the Kruzer.

You're suppose to put it on the left side... however I have my Blackberry mount there.


So to the right side it will go.

It folds up nice and compact when not in use which is by far one of it's great aspects.


But even with it placed at a slight angle and on the "wrong" side. It still works as you can see.

Water is always an excellant choice


fountain soda pop when water just isn't right


20oz


and finally not that we condone, but maybe you're camping and need a secure place to store said beverage.


I have checked on all the sites, at my local HD dealer and this seems to be the thing. I'm sure it can be applied to whatever bike you ride. They offer a few difference models.

I discussed this with derf at the rally. I don't really want to piss every 75 miles.

I can ride my bike for miles without touching the bars... I can even turn on the highway and change lanes... the bike is very balanced.

I looked at something like that a while back, and just stretching across the bike to reach over the other bar it started to track right from my body weight shifting
