First, do you want one that looks cool or one that works?
I've tried several and the Butler Mug works and works great.
here's the link...http://www.glassact.com/index.html
It's butt ugly, but one of the best around....just don't put a slushie in it...it'll freeze within an hour....that's how cold it keeps drinks....
I use mine with water and ice....or ice tea, if I want to use it to carry a water bottle I just remove the top and rest the water bottle inside the mug....

Just ordered two from Cap'n Itch. One for the hard saddle bag guard and one for the handlebar. I went with the braided handlebar. I'm tired of chrome putting my eyes out on a hot summer day. Hopefully I'll have them by the weekend.

Someone gave me a promotional item recently, it's a fold up coozie, the kind you can put in your back pocket when not in use, but on one side the company sewed magnets into it, in what seems like leather or vinyl patches.
On my 12.5" mini apes, I can slap it up on the bars, the dude who gave it to me said he had a bunch of em and he used em on the crash bars.
The one I have will keep a 16-20 oz bottle steady if it's not 100% full, like maybe 1/2 to 3/4 full, I used it w/ the windshield and even w/out, up to about 80, w/ no problem, but again, I wouldn't put a full bottle in the one I have. So, like at a stop, I have some of the drink and then take the rest w/ me to help keep hydrated. Then I pull it off and stick it in my pocket.
I can't find em on the company's site who's logo is on the thing, but a google search turns up several options http://www.google.com/products?clien...num=4&ct=title some of which look more robust and claim a full bottle is steady, but they're not really marketed to motorcycle people, more to tailgaters and the like...
I may still get a more permanent solution that keeps larger items cooler for longer, but in the mean time I thought this was pretty cool, maybe that's another thing Capt Stitch could do in a cool way....

I picked up the Barefoot ******* holder in Sturgis last year. Life saver! Its still on the bike; carries my coffee tumbler to work on work days, and my water bottle on hot rides. Awesome product. Cheap too!

I use a combination of a Butler cup and holder with a RAM mount. That way I can easily detach it and it just leave the u bolt and ball on the bars. Also it is a big insulate cup that is perfect for long rides.

Leader motorsports, roadrunner drink holder. Comes with a trick cup and looks better then anything on the market. Harley also makes the leather pouches that attach to the rear crash bars that you can put a bottle in.
