jthorton's New Passenger Cup Holder, Photos & Review

[Cruzr Joe]

Got the new passenger cup holder in the mail today and here are some photos and a review.

UPDATE: Ex-Rocket made a good point that it should be mounted more towards the rear to prevent anyone from kicking it, and i agree, Thanks Ex-Rocket.

Review:

I have been waiting quite a while for a decent passenger cup holder and i think this one will fit in nicely, WHY?

As you can see it is not bulky.

the Saddle Bags do not touch the cup holder.

You can use it with moveable armrests, no problem with or without the water bottle.

Appears to be firm and solid.

There is a rubber strip between the cup holder and the hand grip to protect the hand grip.

The angle and location spot are relatively adjustable.

The foam interior is perfect for a 12 oz can or a 16 oz bottle.

It looks nice, it is a brushed finish Stainless Steel.

I will now take questions, Bob, what is your question? :roflblack: (we all know Bob has a question.)

Go to the home page and scroll down the list of vendors until you find JT's Machine Shop.
click on accessories and it's there for $40.00
Looks like a good price.

That is one of the nicer passenger holders I've seen! :thumbup:

How does it clamp the the handrest Joe?
If not in use is it quick little or no tools to remove?

It removes with one allen screw on the bottom of the bracket, awkward angle but not too bad.

That's a great cup holder for the back seat. :thumbup: A good looking one for the passenger was something I hadn't seen before. Thanks for posting it. I should remember to check JT's site more often - he makes good stuff. I use his dash mounting kit every day.

I can tell you what Bob will want to know.... "Does it leave a mark on the passenger grip when you remove it?"

Very nice..!!

might just have to switch from the cage type...:thumbup: hope they fit all spyders..:dontknow:

 

[Cruzr Joe]

I "think" that they will fit all hand grips.


UPDATE: Spyder Owners with no backrests might want to test to see if it will interfere with the way they mount their Spyder so as not to kick it while mounting

Thanks my friend!

Joe, Do you have to mount it toward the front portion of the passenger grab bar or can you mount it further toward the rear of the bar? Just thinking it may interfere with the passenger getting on and off the bike.

It can mount more to the center if you want them to, my wife always gets on and off from the left side so the placement on the right side is irrelevant to us.

The strip of rubber between the cup holder and the hand grip should reduce any noticeable marks.

Yeah, but it is better when he asks and puts a video or silly emoticons with his questions. :roflblack::roflblack:
