Default Drink/phone holder

I was running low on time getting my bike ready for it's first trip. The temperatures were in the upper 90's and I hadn't gotten around to mounting my Ipod yet. After scrounging around in the garage and doing a lot of head scratching, I came up with this mount. I took an old highway peg mount, a piece of scrap steel, a bicycle bottle holder, the mount from an old Chatterbox CB radio, some bolts and a few beers and came up with this contraption. All in all it cost me $0 and it worked great! I slid my phone into the bag that my CB was supposed to come in, plugged that into the stereo and found an insulated water bottle to fit. It never moved a bit. It won't be my permanent solution (although it doesn't look bad at all) but I thought it might give someone else some inspiration.

Good thinking ...I was over in Daytona last week and picked up one that mounts right next tomy seat for 13 bucks. I hate things around my bars...so by my side was a good option for me. Good job!
