I had the one SQUIDLY has on my 1st gen and really liked it.

I tried some of the others on my 2nd gen and they don't last very long.

The vibration and weight of a 12oz bottle seems to break the plastic at the swivel or it cracks and breaks where it bolts up.

The one I have now I picked up in STURGIS this last Aug cause I needed something to hold my water bottle.

I should of gone back to what works (like the one SQUIDLY has).

It is inexpensive and works well.

When the one I have now breaks, I will head to Wal-Mart again..............Ron

I like mine because it's simple and cheap! I dont drink coffee so it works great for me. It will fit an insulated mug as you can bend the holder being it's Aluminum.

 

With the 1st gen I found the bar mounts got in the way when turning. so I'm like you, went simple. (plus I'm a HUUUUGE slurpee fanatic)

This is the one I plan on getting. I have the Ram one and Its not bad but I hate having so much crap hanging in front of me. I saw a buddy with this nifty little magnetic one and its neat and out of the way.

This is the one I wanted, but they never responded to my inquiry, e-mails, or phone call

Wish I could get one of those things in there, but my knees have first rights. About the only thing i don't like about the 1stGen is the lack of round mounting areas lost because of the risers.... Any 1stGenner out there with some sort of trick cup holder instalation??

I use the black one sold here. Really like it. http://www.ngatraders.com/

 

I am assuming you are referring to the Barefoot Willies "Cool Rider". I had one of those and was doing some rearranging and found that the backside of the clamp had cracked from both sides so that only a thin sliver of the thing was holding it together.

That is where I had a little problem with mine, I had to move it out towards the edge to give my knee a little more room.

I was looking this morning at other spots and another idea would be to rig something on the luggage bar behind your leg. There are a few water bottle holders using leather for different bikes but it gave me an idea for a more solid cup holder.

 

Since I have to make new dash panels this winter to hold the CLASS and stereo, I am going to use sheet aluminum. I may have to see if that would work out.
