DonnyRudeDude Posted October 28, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2021 Hello all: I recently bought an inexpensive cup holder on line for my bikes. I like to sip on tea as I'm riding, especially this time of year. Well made and easy to attach. You'll need Locktight on the small bolt that attaches the holder to the locking mechanism, seems to be the only weak point. I see that my local Yamaha dealer in Guelph carries them now as well. The brand is Swagman, fyi, Mark 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted October 29, 2021 Share #5 Posted October 29, 2021 Got me 3 of those, 2 on the scoot and lost one now that I don't have a tractor to plow snow with,, come to think of it, lost the spinner on the tractor as well. But they do work well. Nice thing about them is that the arms can be heated and then adjusted for different sized mugs, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want to loose a $20 mug cause it fell out of a $11 holder. Edited October 29, 2021 by Pasta Burner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyRudeDude Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted October 29, 2021 @Pasta Burner Your cup will fit tight, just make sure to use the Locktight otherwise the single screw attaching the cupholder to the clamp gets loose. @Marcarl Maybe he was TOLD to go for a long ride😐 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember when my parents would say let's go into town and get some A&W root beer floats, we were in heaven.

Bubblezdamunky Posted November 2, 2021 Share #16 Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I had that exact cup holder for my last bike and it works good once you get it locked on but be careful with that locking mechanism. Usually by the time it's tight enough to actually grip you're liable to break that plastic tab you have to press down on. I just picked one up on Amazon for my venture that is that exact same design except it's got a thumbscrew turn knob a thing to grip it down that if you really want to crank it down you can put a pair of vice grips on I would recommend that other style I'm attaching a picture of the one I got it's so much simpler to use . I bought a 3 pack of the 1 you had managed to break all 3 Edited November 2, 2021 by Bubblezdamunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasta Burner Posted March 8, 2022 Share #18 Posted March 8, 2022 Anybody have a closeup of how you mounted it? I bought something similar off Amazon when this thread came out but have not found a good place to mount it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted March 8, 2022 Share #19 Posted March 8, 2022 I mounted one with a hose clamp to my side bag crash bar behind my foot the other I had some extra Ram mount pieces that modified to work with cup holder and mounted it on my handle bar.

DonnyRudeDude Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share #20 Posted March 8, 2022 Hi @Pasta Burner, I attached mine up by the clutch fluid reservoir, left side handlebar. Not a lot of room there but it worked ok. It seems to be holding up just fine just don't forget some Locktight if you're using the style that I'm suggesting. Good luck, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash bar is exactly what I settled on but haven’t put it into practical use yet, also don’t know how much it’ll bother the passenger. on another note @DonnyRudeDude are those the longhorn highway pegs? Do you like them? I know Ben has good review. I can’t find anyone local that has them to look at before buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyRudeDude Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share #22 Posted March 9, 2022 @Pasta Burner, yes they are, the Kuryakyn 7980 Longhorn Offset Dually Highway Peg with 1" Magnum quick clamps. A little pricey but well made and they let me ride many hours longer than otherwise I could. I can ride all day on this bike with my feet slightly extended. I have the positioning of these set more downward than straight forward. As long as my legs are extended greater than 90 degrees I'm good, takes the pressure off my knees. I would recommend them. Here's some more info. I ordered locally here from Royal Distributing 20220309105308078.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
