Passenger drink holder?

This summer my wife and I are taking what will be to us an epic journey. We plan to go from St. Louis to Sturgis then on to Palmdale CA and then return via the southern route.

I have a cup holder that works for me but we don't have one for her and since we will be running through some pretty hot areas I want to put a drink holder on the bike for her. I have a few friends that have a slick setup that bolts to the Tour Pak under the bolts that hold the speaker pods on their Ultras but since I ride a Classic, I don't have those holes in the pak and don't want to drill them plus the bracket that is normaly hidden by the speaker pod would stick out like a sore thumb.

What do you all use?

Thanks,

Jim

I have leather bags on the the bars in front of the saddlebags. They sit right behind the passengers feet. I carry my drink in the left one.
Or you could mount a handlebar cup holder to that bar.

+1 - I like it - use it when she's not on the bike to hold additional drinks or wipedown rag and is good to hold small parts when working on the bike - damn - just read where you don't want to mount it...understood

If you figure or think of a place where you could mount a flat piece of metal and drill a hole in it you could mount a Butler mug holder. Butler is ugly as heck but it's the best I'v ever used.

I purchased the armrests from Kuryakyn which have a drink holder built in. My wife loved me for it. We went from Phoenix to N.Y. and back last summer and she had a coozy with a diet coke in it the entire trip. Plus she likes the armrests so she can relax while reading on the trip.
