Take one of those wire ties that comes with a loaf of bread & wrap it around the fitting the swivels. Works great!
I've also used rubber bands, but it doesn't look to good.

Been bitching since I started riding that I wanted a cup holder to take my coffee with m in the morning.
So I bought a Kruzer Kaddy and installed it last week.
with a bottle of water it vibrates so much that the bottle turns sideways...not for me...maybe I'll be te bag guard bags...it's all really about having convienient water anyway.

The roadrunner works great on my Ultra, I found a larger cup, so I have coffee all the way to work (50 miles) On the way home, I rinse out the cup, and fill it with Ice water...Its mounted to my handlebars, on the left side, just before the downward bend..

Itook one of those strap type leather bottle holders that you see for $10-$15 at the ralleys, cut the hang strap off and screwed it to the cover door of the lower fairing. Looks like it belongs there, easy to reach and it was cheap.
I had Butler Cup back when I had a goldwing. Thats the best ever made for a motorcycle, but man are they fugly. Left it on the bike when I sold it.

I ride with my coffee to work every day. What I did was find a travel coffee mug that the lid screws on not one of the push on lids, they are out there hard to find but there are some. Then I have the saddle bag rail bags the one with the little box not the bottle holder one, i can reach down open the lid and put my coffee in there any time I need to and the cup dosen't spill. You have to drink down the first little bit before you get on the bike as there is a weird vacum that get created and will spill some coffee into the bottom if it is too full... I think I might be the same weird thing that makes a puffy shirt[sm=laughat.gif]

I just bungee down my Mr. Coffee on the luggage rack and run a 9 mile extension cord.
By the time I geton the freeway it's brewed. I'm out of extension cord, but the coffee's hotand I just run 6 ft of 1/2" copper tubing over my shoulder with a garden spigot and I'm good to go!
Still trying to iron out the kinks in my plan to run a milk steamer off my header pipes.
BTW: I found that if you remove one of your mirrors but leave the stem behind it makes a great place to hang doughnuts off of.
Just stay away form the strawberry filled ones. The citric acid in the filling wreaks havoc on the clearcoat.
