Anyone find a reasonable cup holder for the RT Limited?
This is an ISC cupholder mounted with a 1" RAM ball to one of the 11mm bolts in the center of the Spyder. Turn out the stock bolt and replace with on that is 3/4" longer and a spacer. You can swivel it back on the driver side of the bars or forward away from the driver.
Either way works great!

Type in the title of my message and it will lead to the link where I got my cup holder, the vendor is Air wing guy, he makes custom products for a variety of bikes, mine cost $55.75, it looks great.
I tried the Brica cupholder. I didnt' like it on the bike so put it on the boat. I now use the cupholder from Diamond R. It works really well and I'm happy with that one. They are a sponsor on this site also and great people to work with.
I had an old cupholder from Barefoot Willie. I found a plastic pipe clamp at Menards for a couple of bucks and attached the cup holder to the clamp. It works well for me.
Does anybody actually try to pull their drink out of one of these holdes and take a swig with at speed?
(I keep the drinks in the top trunk; that's what fuel stops are used for! )

When it's 110 in the shade and I'm trapped in bumper to bumper traffic in Atlanta, I welcome the cup holder and its contents.

I never use a full hat - and have a cup holder attached to a RAM mount, attached to the back of my GPS mount. I always have coffee in the morning, and ice water the rest of the day (hot water, if it's cold). I use a plastic straw from an old Butler cup, which I insert into my Starbucks travel mug.
I have a friend with the same system, except he never puts hot liquids in his cup, so he has a plastic cup with a lid and straw.
Both work well at freeway speeds. Drinking while on the twisties does not work well ..

This is the best I have found and it provides a perfect place to attach ram balls for anything you want to mount. I have the butler cup holder on one side and an iPhone holder on the other. Yes, they can fit one on the right side also.Ram Ball Right.jpgRam Ball Overhead.jpg
