so the wife really wants the water bottle holder that goes in front of the saddlebag, except I just do not like the look of the crash bars that they attach too, has anyone seen any other options?

Thanks

 

Huh. Was thinking the same thing. There are a couple out there for the rider - but nothing for the passenger that I found yet. Be interesting on what you find.

Good luck.

 

Had mine for umpteen years. Change your bike for one with rear bars?!

 

Tell her to deal with it, lol.

 

Take a look over at eglidegoodies. Might have an option that works? http://www.eglidegoodies.com/id480.html

 

adding the bars is easy, I just don't like the look, although the new ones look a lot better than those old 1950's things

 

most all those go on the tour-pack which we have, that's a good option.

 

This will work for her....and nothing on your bike.

 

This with the tourpak mount and a good yeti/ozark cup will out perform just about anything.

This is a water bottle cage designed for bicycles. I considered installing one on the front of my saddle bag but ended up putting it inside the bag because I only ride solo and I'm unlikely to reach for a drink while riding. They come in a zillion colors and materials and good ones definitely grip a bottle well enough to keep it in place.
