On my way to Sturgis in '08 I went thru Nevada and the heat dehydrates you before you know it. I drank a lot of water to keep my mind clear.

I bought a leather drink holder at a bike show for $10. It is the style that has a flap that is made to go around your handlebars. I cut off the flat, drilled a door on my lower and pop riveted it to the door. It has held up since may with no problems.
I miss it when I take my lowers off in the heat of the summer, but I couldn't see spending lots of money on the handlbar mount holder. Sorry, no pics.
If you are intersted in seeing pics PM me and I will snap one and sent it to you.

How do you keep the lower cover from unsnapping from the weight? Did you have to reinforce it somehow?

I didn't do anything special with the snaps. They just stay on there. I think because the weight is side to side on them they hold it just fine.

I used aluminum covered with a piece of Naugahyde and added snaps. Never had a problem with them unsnapping.

I use a Kruzer Caddy http://www.kruzerkaddy.net/ but I drilled and tapped the thing so I could make it solid instead of the annoying swivel mount.
I just noticed on their web site that the new Kruzer Caddy can be mounted so it doesn't swivel, a welcome change.
