Anyone have a drink holder mounted on their handlebars? I have seen a few around and just wondered what type and where you found yours? Thanks for the help guys.
I didn't want to spend $50 for a drink holder so I got this one from Barefoot Willies. http://www.barefootwillies.com/beverage.html It's been on my Valk since '02 and held up well.

Curtis didn't mention that next to the drink holder is the kitchen sink and a dishwasher for the dirty cups. He's got everything on that Valk. :D
Curtis, does the cup holder have a gyro type mount. or does it just lean when you lean?
No gyro Charles, it stays at whatever orientation you mount it. The only time I lose any coffee is before my first drink when the cup is brimming and the bike is on the side stand.
Jessie, you can't shame me. I'm a luddite compared to folks on some of the other forums I frequent. It's all relative, don't cha know!

Once I get the fairing on Val I plan on adding this one the Bar Buoy (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001H9EEK/sr=8-5/qid=1156364212/ref=pd_bbs_5/102-4032616-2666524?ie=UTF8). It is gimbled and worked great in my parrents boat.
Thanks that is what I was hoping it would be I'm not a big fan of the ones that swivel to stay up right I usually end up bumping it and spilling it anyway. I just need a place to hang a Dr Pepper can. Think I'm going to try one thanks.
Kerry, the price is right but like Charles I'm not a fan of gimbal mounts for cup holders. They're really not needed except for when the bike is on the side stand.

I saw a booth at the Galveston Rally last year that was selling cupholders that were rubber and they just stuck to the tank. All (hot) summer I have regretted not buying one to carry my water bottle in. I won't miss out on that if they are there this year.

Barefoot Willies is what I have on my bike - I love it!
It was the first thing I put on my bike after I got it home!
