Cup Holders

[dltang]

Any Ram Mount site, such as GPScity.com will have handlbar cuphold mounts and hardware as well as the cupholder. I have the same one Lamont shows and I am able to use it when I wear my 3/4 or half helmet. With my full face, I can not drink while riding. I have also used the Camelback when coming home from California to MI and it was nice to have a large amount of liquid available. I just put the straps on the handlbars and it sat over my tank bag in front of me.

thats why I went with the one from drink2go, great price, can be moved and doesn't look funny on the bikehyea:

Any ideas for a good cupholder? I saw Drinks2Go but did not ligo, great priceke installing it behind me. I want something that I can install in front so I don't have to reach back for a drink.

Thanks for offer but a little too rich for my blood.

I still fail to understand the practicality of cup holders on motorcycles, but the are cupholders for RAM mounts, so anywhere you can fit a RAM ball, you can have a cupholder.

:agree: But I did recently buy a hydration pack (similar to Camelback) for my trip to Maggie Valley. I've noticed I get dehydrated easily when I'm ryding, but don't want to stop yet. So with the hydration pack, I can drink water whenever I want and then just stop when I need to refuel. It also will save time a the fuel stops. I'll let ya'll know how it works out when I head to MV tomorrow.

too small of a clamp

I ordered one from my cup holder and the clamp was way way too small only opened up 1/2 inch so I trashed it a waste of money but a cheap lesson learned order from ebay or amazon and get a garrentee beware all

The one I bought worked perfect. a little high in price but well made, try Chubbycups.
This is not the one for the RT, it is more adjustable. Old Man

If you do a search on this forum, you will find many different styles...Some are more complex than others...

I already had a Kuryakyn cup holder from a different bike and de-constructed it and installed it on my 2012 RT.

I thought the drink2go looked to small but it is actually a nice tight fit on a 20oz bottle. Have one on both sides.

I manufacture and sell a cup holder/accessory mount for the standard RT handlebars, 2010-2013 models.

This is truly a well made and versatile accessory for your Spyder RT.

I find most cup mounts to be too bulky or unstylish. I got the chrome karyakan, drilled a hole near the lip, took out one upper screw on the right hand grip cluster and using a spacer, bolted the cup holder back on using a longer screw. This is clean, very attractive, stable and holds cans and mugs. After buying and trying 4 others including the ram monster this is by far the best set up I have used on the my RT. It gets a lot of attention from other riders and the chrome compliments the chrome hand bars and throttle grips.

I have the SRT cupholder (SpyderLovers sponsor) for my 2013 RT. It mounts without removing any screws from the Spyder and has an accessory bar to which I mount my gps.

So, what does it look like? Show us a couple of pictures if you will.

Got my Swagman's( Drink 2 Go) from eTrailer. Cut a piece of a beer cozy to rap around the rear grips or it will leave marks.

If you get a lockable nozzle cup ( available everywhere) reaching back to your left when mounted near front of the grip is no problem at all.

I've seen those before and wondered where you got them from. Pretty cost effective...

I have a couple of those but found out that I cannot open the saddlebags when I use them.

Do you have that problem?

Yea, me too. If you place it more towards the front, you can open the bags, but the holder is tipped. They should have made the angle adjustable. Still, nice little gadget. .

Nope it is all in how you mount it. Mine are at an inward angle still holds the cup very well and can open and close the saddlebags

Here is the cup I use
