AKRefugee Posted December 11, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2011 Been meaning to post this for a while now. Went to Wally World and got a Zefal aluminum bicycle bottle cage for $7 Went to Lowe's and picked up 1 Mending Brace for $2, 2 rubber lined P clamps for $2 and some nuts and bolts for $2 I cut the Mending Brace to sizes I needed than rounded off the squares corners on a grinder. I Attached it to my Mirror Stem on the right side just above the Brake Fluid Reservoir. Since the holder is metal I can spread it wider or squeeze it smaller to fit any size cup or can I might be using. If the resizing ever causes it to break all I have to do is replace the bottle cage for $7 and swap it out. For the passenger I simply used a a conduit clamp and a piece of Mending Brace. I riveted the cup holder and the mending brace together then used the conduit clamp around the passenger hand railing and attached that to the mending brace. Here are the pics of the material and the actual mounting for the front sorry forgot pic for the passenger cup holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokier Posted April 23, 2012 Share #4 Posted April 23, 2012 Greetings, This was an excellent tip! I did this in 20 mins. Got a different bottle holder at Wally World, but the same at Lowe's. Works like a champ. The smallest rubber coated clamps at my Lowe's were 1/2". Wish they were a touch smaller (tighter) on the mirror stem. Otherwise, a most excellent Poor Man Tip!
