Because the grip is tapered you can go about midway and still mount it but that would make the grip useless. Can the passenger easily get the water bottle in and out when it is at the very back? Like Joe said earlier my wife also gets on and off only on the left side so the cup holder on the right side is out of the way for her. When I get on if I kick her I get smacked!

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.)

Cup holder

I like the cup holder. I have it mounted on the right side because my wife or granddaughter get on from the left.
I mounted it about halfway up the grip.
Also the BRP half cover fits over it.

He was waiting for test results/ opinions before he ordered/made parts, but they should be available pretty quick.

The way the store software works is it won't allow you to order until I have some in stock. I prefer to be able ship when someone orders. The software keeps track of inventory usually lol. I'm temped to try out the latest version of the software when I get some spare time.

Cup holders

These look interesting, but I think I like the new ones from Diamond R better.

The $75 ones that only work with the $325 Diamond R arm rests? They are nice indeed...

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

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

I've been pondering this post for a while and I've come up with a tool-less mount that is quick to attach and holds better than the clamp. I just need to get one part in and I'll have some of these made up.

Saddlebag

Will the saddlebag still open without hitting it or do you have to detach it or move it out of the way somehow??? Interested in one but we are always opening and closing the saddlebags and I wouldn't want it to interfere or hit the door. Please let us know. I did not see a pic of the cup holder with the saddlebag door open.

The cup holder clears the saddlebag so it can open and close without moving the cup holder.
