I decided to add a cup holder to my Sportster handle bars for these super hot days. Went to local HD dealer and found they have an HD cup holder ut the cost is $99. For a stupid cup holder!

Where can I get an afordable cup holder for my Sportster?

 

quite a few on ebay:

Try a marine shop. They have the kind stat swivil 360 degrees, not the 180 degrees that the motorcycle cup holders do.

 

Yeah I broke the cupholder on my work truck. It cost 120$ from the International Dealership. Ridiculous.

 

I just went to walmart and bought a bicycle waterbottle holder and zip tied it to the windshield cost less than ten bucks

 

You can go Here they have serveral different options. Have you considered a camlback?

 

You have got to be kidding...

 

I have the chrome Kruzer Kaddy with the handlebar mount on my 1200 Custom. I paid $30 for mine. Was a great deal if you ask me. Only issue I have found, is when I use a cup, can or bottle it tends to sweat. The water comes out the bottom of the kaddy and sprays in your face. I put a piece of foam in the bottom and it has lessened this significantly.

As far as a camelback, I have one issued to me. I tried to use it a couple times on the bike. The hose flys up and hits me in the face and/or I had to hold the hose in place. It also was heavy over time on my shoulders when full and was hot as heck underneath it on my back.

The cup holder was my decision and well worth the money.

 

Evidently not. I think you can get one in the set that includes a fairing and bags. Personally, I'd be concerned about spilling the ice in my drink. I'd rather pull over at a watering hole.

 

A cup holder ? thats what the ole lady is for..LOL
