Default Road glide drink mount

So I see lots of mounts for handlebars, lowers, etc. Has anyone here seen or tried the upper glove box? The shelf is a good size to fit a typical tumbler. My thought is to drill out the top, line it with a rubber grommet, and maybe even create a cover to protect from elements when not in use.

Something to consider that I didn't think about with the original post is I have 14" pullback apes. So that isn't quite the issue for me as neither me nor my arms are typically anywhere near the inner fairing.

i would rather attach a cupholder to the handlebars vs. chopping up my inner fairing. but that's just me.

I don't think I'd like it mounted on apes.

I put these on my 17 FLTRU and love them. A little pricey, but great quality. 15K miles after installation no issues.

Oh it's not so bad. Perfect placement for me... 14" apes, Ciro ring, and a Yeti cup. Hours and hours of cold or hot whatever. Works fantastic, easy to reach.

Ciro has a poor handle bar mount system. I've had 2 of them break going down a rough road. $27 dollars to replace just the mount. The Yeti cup will keep cold for a long time, not so much for hot coffee, just warm in a couple of hours.
I had this same set up for a second cup, and just replaced it with another Kruzer Kaddy. now I have 2 of the same mounted and the Kruzer Kaddy cups work great.
