I love my new 2014 Ultra Limited...hated to store it last week, but with bitter cold and snow/ice on ground in Central Indiana...probably good idea.
As I add more accessories to my ride I notice that there are not many options for cup holders. The new Ultra handle bar and faring configuration leaves almost no handle bar access. The Kuyakyrn options all require use of clutch or brake fastners and create a "looping" interference.
On my 2008 I used Butler.com assembled into brake assembly. It worked well but the assembly is all black plastic and a bit drab.
Checked with my dealership and HD really has no other options at this time either.
If another thread was started on this topic, please point me in the right direction.
I thought they decided you could run straight water in the radiators and use it as a hot drink dispenser when you stopped, so no need for cup holders...just carry your choice of instant coffee or tea bags and you're set!
I did a combination of the Kuryakyn passenger cup holder and a ram mount. I had the different pieces already and just made what I wanted. I can take the holder off in seconds, move it around so its in a good spot out of the way and I can use the mount for my camera, gps, phone whatever else I want to use it for when I am not using the cup holder. I will try to take pics later if anyone is interested in seeing it. I normally use this setup to put the cup holder behind my mirror so it is completely out of the way.
They have a ton of options so you can setup almost whatever way you want.
Thumbs up on the Kruzer Kaddy!! I installed mine a couple weeks ago, but you'll need the kit with the mount for the switch housing and not the handlebar mount kit.
Go with Captain Itch's suggestion. I have one on my bike and can say they are not only top quality but you don't have to hang your cup on the handlebars.
In addition to Capt. Itch, I used to run one from hogtrough that basically replaced one of the doors on your lowers that had a cup holder built into it.
