which cup holder
I am looking for a decent looking cup holder, not something that looks like it came from pep boys. I have seen a couple of chrome and black ones but do not know where to get one. Living in Arizona, it is very important to keep hydrated and carry water. Any suggestions?

RE: which cup holder
I put the Roadrunner on my Ultra. Found a larger cup for it for my coffee in the mornings. and it holds most paper cups from the fast food joints. A large or medium fits well and makes it easy to handle, refill, and I don't have to carry a cup when I don't want to.

RE: which cup holder
I bought one of the chrome Kruzer Kaddies from a local bike shop. It is a good compromise between better-than-plastic cup holders and the exhorbitant (IMHO) price for the chrome ring cup holder ($80!). The Kruzer Kaddy was only $39 at a local shop, but I encountered a problem on the first long ride this past weekend: The cup holder rotates when you have a full bottle of water in it -- due to road vibration and the vib's from the bike. I'm currently awaiting solution suggestions from mfr., but until that time, I either keep a smaller bottle of water in the holder (8 oz. bottle of Ozarka) or drink 1/3 of the larger bottles so they aren't top-heavy.
But it looks good on the bike...

RE: which cup holder
I have one of these bottleholder on my RG. I have Heritage handlebars so they are a bit higher than stock and it holds 20oz beverage bottles and standard water bottles. It is a clamp-on unit. It can also be mounted on crash bars. I am happy with it and have ridden about 20k mi with it.

RE: which cup holder
These are good looking holders, I like the KruzerCaddie, however, the best, however the ugliest, is the Baker Mug. This thing will keep water and ice cold for hours....also the Ram mug holder is another good, but ugly one.

RE: which cup holder
I use the saddlebag guard bag and just replace th3e water bottle with a flip top coffee tumbler type of mug for in the morning, then toss it in the tour pack and switch over to the water bottle for the afternoon ride. No complaints at all. You can get a stainless tumbler at any Meijer store. I don't like too much stuff mounted on the handlebars.
