Not to rain on anyone parade but I really don't like the looks of a handlebar mounted cup holder but I really miss my morning cup-a-joe so I came up with this. Cost $6 at WallyWorld for the holder and some fab time at work to make a new cover. This one is my 2nd gen. 1st one cost $1.98 for 4 plastic cup holders. Just wanted to see if it'd work. What do ya think?
I've got one just like no1likhim's that I use for about everything but holding cups. There's some sort of Bournolli or Venturi effect or something that sprays me with a fine mist when it's got a straw sticking out... But, it's a great place to mount my MP3 player for plugging into the AUX port on the radio. Holds my XM player. None of this very stylish, but when I'm using those things (long trips) it's functionality that matters... And I just never got into being a coffee drinker (even though I got this pretty cool travel mug from the MoCo for doing that monthly survey).
Yeah, riding in the cold is when I always wished I'd developed a taste for coffee... I drink it once in a great while, but if it isn't real hot, I can't stand it and it just never seemed to stay hot enough long enough for me... Even in the infamous MoCo travel mug.
Managed to get out both days this weekend. Perfect Fall weather for riding in Indiana, especially Saturday. Kinda windy, and that coffee would have been good, but perfect temps. Something about riding in the Fall that's better than any other time of year.... Had a bottle of milk in my cup holder (not very manly I guess, but I have a thing for milk, when I can't drink beer).

Ya gotta drink the beer too fast or it'll go flat! The milk is good to go anytime...LOL
This time of year is my favorite also. NO bugs to scrap off no matter how many miles you put on!!
The days are too short though.

I added the Roadrunner cup holder to the left side handlebars. Holds a nice coffee mug I found at K-mart, and holds most medium and some large sized cups from the fast food places...Just a chrome ring when not in use, plus the ring is removable and simply a braket is left.
