Default Finally..a cupholder I like...

A friend of mine who owns a CNC shop made this for me. I had a Kruzer Kaddy, but none of my cups would fit in it. I tried a Barefoot Willie but didn't really like it. Took them over and asked him what he could do. He said he would see what he could come up with in his spare time. Mind you, he has a contract with USPS making parts, so his time is limited, plus he rides a Wing and gets on it as much as he can. I thought the results were great. Now, all that is left is to polish it up and hang it on the bars using the Kruzer Kaddy control mount.

I have already told him to make some up and they would go quickly. He knows that, but says that his plate is full. I will keep working on him. I had figured on either powder coating black or chroming it. I think I will just polish it up.

I don't think he wants to make it a mail order business. I told him when I posted a pic there would be people wanting them. He indicated he would like to help, but that would cut into his riding time.
