"Does it have a cup holder?" ummmmm anyone know?

[Cruzr Joe]

I disagree. I went cheap and have an excellent cup holder.

I removed the clamp and used a longer screw to attach it to the top mounting screw on my right handlebar cluster. I got a longer screw and then cut a black piece of plastic tubing to make a spacer, (which you'll adjust the length at the end to make the cup holder vertical). I then wrapped a black ziptie around the lower vertical of the cup holder andthen ran another black ziptie around the handlbar, next to the cluster, looping it through the ziptie on the cup holder. Tightened both and it is solid.

You can buy a lot of gas for the price of a Butler.

We gotta see a picture :nopic:

My RT is at the dealer, so I cannot get a picture of it, which, of course, is the one I described. Below is a picture of my wife's '08 GS & the same type cup holder I installed using the clamp.

Sorry Mark... that may be a true statement regarding the price, but I like the clean install of the Butler. Plus like someone mentioned, with the swagman you are limitted to what you place there... 16 oz bottles. I get the nice mug with a sturdy lid and straw (make sure you snap the lid or it will fly away like it happened to Leira).

Honest disagreement, which is good. I don't care for the bulk of the Butler, nor the excessive price. When I get a picture of the install on my RT, you'll see it is a very clean and simple install. The zipties are positioned in ways that make them blend into the handlebar. In fact, your eye would likely not even notice it unless you knew to look for it. The ziptie runs in a seam between the black cluster and the silver handlebar, so does not stand out. (By the way, it'll also hold a 20 oz bottle! )
