Ok so the wife wants a water bottle holder for the back Holy crap $74 for the side bag bar mount one from Harley...I think I will be better off finding her a helmet with one mounted on each side and a straw? What else is out there?

 

Cleavage?

 

see them all the time at leather shops, rally vendors,,, almost same as HD,, like 20-30 bux

 

I've used cruzer-kaddy(sp) from sponsor on this site. It mounts to your handlebars and will hold most of the normal water bottles you buy at store. Weird thing is when bottle is full, most of weight is on top and it cause it to tilt. Takes some getting used to.

Others have mounted similar devices on their bikes and will chime in eventually.

The one thing I've always wondered about the water bottle holder from H-D you're looking at is that since it is right over the exhaust, the water might get a little warm(unless you're running 2-1 exhaust eliminating the left pipe). Others can voice their opinions on this.

 

Let me try and find a pic that shows the one I got. Got it from JP Cycles for like $25. Orange see thru HD water bottle and it matches bike great.

 

yup... heard... water gets warm,, cant drink while riding, or you'll wear it,, need a squeeze bottle w/cap, mouth piece gets covered with dirt bugs,,, and a bunch of other complaints

 

I use them on both sides and they're great. Keeps junk off the front of the bags too. Easy to get too goin down the road and I love reaching down there on a hot day and grabbin a drink. Water doesn't stay cold very long but it's still wet which is fine with me. Also - I stick mine in inverted with the top down - keeps the bugs and road grime off what's goin in my mouth.

 

Here's a shot that you can see somewhat. It's got velcro straps that go around the bar and is faux leather. Functional and good price

I found this at Walgreens. It fits perfectly. The heat will not affect the contents nor will the cold cool off the coffee.
