I'd guess you had to reinforce the snap-on vinyl cover to make it strong enough to stay attached??? I've been thinking about doing something like this and have cut out a piece of aluminum in the shape of the OEM door, have black vinyl to cover it, but am not sure how I'm going to attach it after covered.

That looks good, but isn't it hard to keep your beer cold when it is up against the engine?

mine worked great for one season.. the metal in the cup vibrated into several pieces.. granted it was promptly replaced. i'm waiting for it too also fall apart. even with a rubber washer i put in on the second one to help prevent it i still don't think it'll last. have a bare foot ******* waiting to be put into use.
side note: dont use it for drinks as it spins around anyhow.. i use it for the cell phones with the clips outside of the cup. makes them easy to grab when getting on and off. don't have to unlock the saddle bags to get them.
the cell phones are much lighter than a can of soda so i don't believe that was the cause.. they're out of stainless i believe and stainless is brittle by nature.

Wife, brother and I all are using the Kruzer Kads on our harley's for over 5+ years and never had a problem.
