• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

drink/water bottle holder

I've had my spyder for about a month now. Have made two 200+ mile road trips just around the area we live in.

Being in Texas, where the summer rides can be brutal, I've been wondering what ya'll have improvised or purchased to hold a water bottle or drink. Need that water at stops and don't want to have to mess with a fanny pack or getting off the spyder.

Any suggestions?

I and a number of my friends use The Butler Cup Holder...

I have been pretty happy with it.
 
I have one set up on my Spyder from Ram Mount. Here are some attempts at photos but the lighting is really bad.

I really like it. It works with my half helmet but I need to find a water bottle with a straw for my full face helmet.

Thanks again! !:bowdown:
 
Where do you find Ram Mount for Spyder RT?

I had a Ram Mount cup holder on my Victory that I just traded in for a Spyder RT. I've searched Ram's website and was not successful in finding a handlebar mount for the Spyder. Can you please tell me where I can find it?:banghead:

Thanks

There are RAM mount cupholders, too.
 
Can't use because of full face Helmut. Could use a Camelback though. At my age I like to stop every 50-75 miles and stretch my artificial body parts, get my water bottle out of the top case, take a drink and look for a place to tinkle.

Besides I do not want to look like a Gold Wing rider. Harley Riders have a thing about this!

My Kawasaki Concours riding sone gives me a lot of crap about looking like a geezer tourer with this http://store.valueaccessories.net/SpyderDrinkHolder.aspx but it fits neatly on my left passenger handhold where I can easily reach it.

As a long time bicyclist I also favor a Camelbak. You can by an accessory for them called a tube director http://www.rei.com/search.html?ir=q:tube+director&page=1&q=tube+director that has a flexible wire in the tube insulation that you can bend to fit any contour and you can adjust it to rest just under the bottom of a full face helmet. You can they push it up under the helmet to take a swig.

You asked about a Ram Ball mount. This is what I did for not a lot of coin. It was supposed to to be a temp mount, but I used it enough that I left it there all the time. Make sure you get a SS clamp or powder coat the steel one so there is no rust.
