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 Kaddyand 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.

 

I went with a "Roadrunner" coffee cup holder. Seems
to work well even with the usual HD vibration.
Could be the result of it being a metal holder and not netting......!

Good for you. I was never a fan of a cup holder on a motorcycle.

 

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.

I've got one that attaches to the saddlebag guard. I'm happy with it.

 

I found it wasn't the vibration but the full bottle of water causing the problem. Once you've got is down some, it doesn't do thatlean thing.

 

Had the saddle bag guard bottle holder but it gets hot fast. Used a plastic bottle holder off a mountain bike. made a mount for it on the clutch leverbracket,Worked great. It was one of the few things that survived when I went down at 70mph totaling my bikein Texas last July. The bike was sliding fine till itwent off the road.

 

I have a Kruzer Kaddy and I (as you) have learned early to buy the short water bottles they worked GREAT!!

I've also found the short12oz Coke brand plastic bottles work better than taller ones. I've got the same cup holder you have and am completely satisfied with it.

 

Blue,
Look for somethig that attaches low on the bike. The crash bar/engine guard would be ideal. The bars are a bad idea as they magnify the vibration of the engine. Just look at your antenne sometime. Held in a flexible mount on one end & floaing ( unattached ) on the other , it just shakes. Yes it does asorb the vibes of the engine to you , especialy at cruise. But at idle it shakes like a paint mixer to anything with out enough mass to soak it up. So if there is room, a crash bar mount is the way to go.
