OK, so I bought one of these a couple years back for my father to o use on his motorcyle. He sold his motorcycle so I reclaimed it and have started using it on my GTS.

Here's the deal. If you are someone who wants to take a drink along with you this is the best way to go. I pop it right on the rear cowl, put my drink (with a lid on it) in and take off. When I get where i am going, I take the drink out, pull off the Magnetic cup holder and put it in my top case/under the seat and I'm all set.

Its made very well, the magnets are very strong. I've had no problems with it moving, shifting etc. If you guys are interested, I'll post some pictures.

My computer went nuts when I clicked that link. I got pop ups with warnings. That is a secure site with the padlock icon. Why?

Well, I have to get some superglue for this one. It didn't hold up to rough roads with a 22 oz. Fat Tire.

The "candy tray" thing on Atomic Fireballs work ok for smaller beverages.

And these hold 2 drinks.

And this kind can scratch your cowls, but really, who cares?

And I really do like a drinkholder with a bit of color. Here's a lovely one. Oh, and my elbow's ok (crashed a few weeks ago).

How do I get one of these Candy trays?! I am assuming you are talking about the black plastic part above your glove box right? I love it and want one!

I have a fair amount of security software on my computer and it picks up obscure issues that would normally slide through. It usually gives me fair warning that something isn't quite right or there may be malware involved. That link triggered some alarms and warnings that the site may be more than believed.

It is strange that a sales link would be secure without any financial or identity information being transferred.

Those came standard on the Atomic Fireballs, but I think they were also standard on the T-5 Vespa. $12 at Scooterworks.

Yeah, I love Fat Tire and often have those when I'm working on my scooter. Here's the last shot of a photo-narrative of a rear brake shoe replacement session. As the story progressed, another bottle would show up. Ok, so when you do a brake job, you're supposed to have parts left over, right? Oh, and I replaced the front tire. All that gray on the tire laying there is from a gnarly road I ride on my daily commute and the mud (tracked out onto the road by gravel trucks) splashes up on my spare tire.

I got security warnings as well. To bad! Sounds like an interesting product. Oh ... and I am using a Mac.

No so lucky... I can't get it here either. Its one of my favorite beers, so I bought 3 cases when I visited my sister in Austin a few weeks ago.

Here are a couple of photos of the cup holder - really is GREAT! and with a good thermos cup, you can take a hot drink along with you in the dead of winter! Ride safe!

I have one of those prima holders and I love it, but I had to glue the tubes onto the suction cups and for good measure, zip tied them on the cups as well.
