I dont have one of these, but thought I'd post it.

I just ordered a locking door set for my lowers from Hardbagger.com. They come with a third (left) door with a cup holder, insulated bottle, etc.

Havent gotten them yet, but will post when I do. Scroll down to "Whole HogPackage".

Doesnt look like you have hard lowers, but thought I'd post for the benefit of others that do.

I have a small insulated case that holds two Gatorade type bottles and a couple of sandwiches on longer trips. One of the bottles get frozen the night before.

Freezing bottles of water is what I have done too, but on days like today(100+), they get warm pretty fast, looking for an affordable solution, thanks for the input.

i use one of those double walled insulated cups with the screw on lid and the straw with the molded 'o-ring' to keep it from coming out. when i leave the house, i fill it with ice and cold water. then at every gas stop, i will refill it with ice. the water will stay cold/cool between gas stops, and the double walls keep the cup from condensating and dripping water everywhere.

I either pack a small cooler with ice to refill or stop at any convenience store to refill with ice.

We use the ring style cup holder and you can use most any type of insulated go cup from there. We like the kind you can close easy with one hand. We drink coffee in the morning and have a cooler with ice in the tour pack and just fill the cup with ice and whatever drink we may have with us.
