I bought the Kruzer Caddy and on checking the instructions and hardware, it had nothing like what is pictured on page 1, simply 2 rings that mounted to the handlebar. There must be a new model that attaches to the perch as you show in your photo. That is how the Kuryakyn holder that I bought attaches.
You might also like the Roadrunner Drink Holder. It's available with either an insulated travel mug or an insert that holds water and pop bottles (or you can get both). Lots of mounting options: on the switch housing, handlebar, even windshield brace. http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/CTGY/drink.html
For a c-note, I'll continue to keep a water bottle in my saddlebag. Now that you can open it with one hand, it works for me.
Just to contribute to your analysis paralysis, I got this one based on a recommendation from a buddy who has put over 750,000 miles on his Harleys. Also comes with a koozie that makes my coffee mug fit real snug in there. Works great, no issues. $25 online, found mine at a local shop for $20.
Just ordered the Kruzer Kustom Kaddy...leather wrapped. That's the one that comes w/ the switch mounting hardware supposedly. The other one just has the bar clamp; seems to be confirmed on Amazon reviews too.
And btw if any Limited owners were thinking of this: http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/rider-cup-holder Forget it. HD was selling them as compatible w/ the '14 Limited's but have since stopped (as noted in the reviews section). I tried it and after much pain and anguish did get it mounted to the down tube but it didn't sit right. Kept hitting my ankle and rubbed on the lowers. There is one member here who got it mounted and liked it (can't remember his handle) but I did not. Just an FYI for any future cup holder searchers.

I have your cup holder and like it allot. When I'm not using it, it's pretty unobtrusive. I did have to replace the cup though with a nicer Contigo mug.
I just bought a 2014 Ultra Limited and I NEED a cup holder for the front. Passenger is taken care of but I need one. Any ideas???
I tried the Kruzer Caddy and it bent under the weight of a my HydroFlask. This is what I ended up doing. One of those Ram Bolts with a $15 cup holder. Works great! I have had no issues.
