    Default cup holders?

    Has any one found any cup holders that fit the RT? Most of what I've seen bolt on to handle bars or brake reservoirs. How about the back seat?

    Default Cup/Bottle Holder

    I think a good idea would be to fashion something that might bracket and hook around the lip of the left-side of the hump storage compartment, then rest neatly forward of the pads.

    You might want to consider a RAM mount cupholder. I know nothing about cup holders, and I have no understanding why anybody would want one on a motorcycle, but if you do, this may be a good alternative. There are a variety of mounting bases, some of which would bolt readily to a rear body panel, near the passenger. I have mounted one at the center of my handlebars, and there are other alternatives. I usually get my RAM mounts from GPSCity. They also have suction mount cup holders.

    I have a RAM mount for my GPS on my handlebars also. I have looked at possible places to attach the ball front and rear. Actually, those mounts are versatile enough to attach just about anything you want. I may go that route.
    One place I was looking at was under the dash sun shield on the right side. I don't know how substantial the material would be for self tapping screws though. Rear is going to be tougher to find a place that won't interfere and doesn't mess up the aesthetics.
    Any other suggestions?

    I have what you need. My web page has now been updated. Take a look and let me know if I can be of help in any way. This is a very clean / neat set up.

    That would be a good way to sell two things at once. However not very nice. Be happy to sell both, but you don't have to. Check out the web page as it was updated today. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of help.

    Hey Billy, got anything that will mount for the passenger on the RS/GS model?

    I have your armrests, thought a cup holder might be nice for a long trip in the summer once I ditch the full face for the 3/4 when the hot weather comes.

    The actual cup holder is not on the web page. The accessory kit gets you to a 1" ball that you can mount whatever you want. I do have RAM cup holders here at ISCI. However there are several to choose from. Here is a picture.

    This one is mounted to a brake. The kit on my web page mounts it to the handle bar.

    The RAM part number for the cup holder I have is RAM-B-132BU.

    I hate to be a pain, but your web site is not very easy to find anything and is not intuitively obvious where I might search. If I click on Spyder parts, I get:
    1. FLOORBOARDS AND KITS 2. SHIFTER
    3. HIGHWAY PEGS AND RISERS
    4. PARKING BRAKE EXTENSION

    5. MODIFIED PARKING BRAKE EXTENSION
    6. BRACKET ASSEMBLIES
    7. HAND BRAKE SYSTEM
    8. BRAKE LEVERS
    9. CRUISERBOARDS
    10. PASSENGER ARMRESTS

    11. PICS OF PRODUCTS INSTALLED


    None of which suggest that it would be a RAM ball attachment kit. Apart from clicking on each one, or scrolling down through the entire set of pictures (which I did and still didn't see the accessory kit), what would you suggest I click on to find the accessory kit?

    Drink holder with RAM ball: http://www.mountguys.com/product_p/ram-b-132bu.htm
    Drink holder resevoir ball mount kit: http://www.mountguys.com/product_p/ram-b-132-345.htm

    Hope that helps!
