You know I was going to post this a while back. I forgot.
I am talking about starbucks and other takeout drinks that you want to take with you home or other places. I was thinking about mounting it behind the windscreen and above the tach/speedo, but I have not had time to think on how to fabricate or create anything. Anyone got any ideas???

when I was a noob, I would ride to the local Mickey D's and get a combo like a f%$king Idiot. :cookoo:

Then I would try to one hand it all the way back to work.   needless to say I lost a MED sized coke or two in my time.  Try explaining a lap full of coke to your boss, just before a sales presentation.

Anyway a cupholder mod that is inconspicious and easy to use would be great just for lunch runs.  Good Idea if anyone can come up with somethin.

Get one of those hats that have can holders on both sides and the straw that runs down.  Then mount the can holders to your helmet.  There all done

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.

This is what we decided would be best when we discussed this deep issue on the B.A.G.S. ride last Sunday!  :thumb: :laugh:

check stores that sell harley stuff.
I've seen lots of harleys with cup holders. They kind of look like a leather beer cozy strapped to the bars. You could make your own easily, go to walmart camping/outdoorsy section and get a cup holder.

Blue05 I was thinking the same thing. Two sodas on either side of the helmet. And you would be set!

Couldn't you just eat and/or drink whatever you bought in the restaurant/fast food place?  Seems like it'd be a huge hassle to not spill, especially when leaned over.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof, is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools....

Thanks to advances in automation, Nike shoes will be made by robots. Unfortunately, the robots will be made by children in Malaysia.

Get one of those, glue some strong magnets to the bottom, cover the bottom in soft felt or something like that, and just stick it to your tank.

AM I the only idiot who ran into a fast food joint for takeout and ordered a combo with a drink?

If I am that sucks cause I did it like 5 times.

If you have stick handlebars a cup will fit on the clutch side of them.  Lean it on the speedo and the cables will support it.  I have gotten many a combos back to work that way, before i switched my handlebars.
