Nice idea. simple yet functional.  About the mufflers, does the plastidip hold up to the heat??

Tough to reach while you're riding  ;D Maybe a really long straw?

I had 4 on the bike at one point, yes 4. Don't ask.

This is a plain $.99 cup holder from any gas station, fits over the clutch reservoir, just put in two holes and zip tie it on. Have used this setup on mutliple bikes without an issue.


On the left is a standard handlebar mounted bicycle bottle cage. These are just a few bucks shipped on eBay, in the center is a handlebar mounted cup holder, the difference between a cup holder and a bottle cage is that the cup holder is tapered to accept cups. Must have for coffee. On the right I had an L bracket on the handlebar mounted mirror stem which had a Bell expandocage for large bottles. Note it's not pictured.

^^ do you wear a lid and drink out of that cup?

I have yes, a flip up lid. But 90% of the time it's to pick up and not necessarily to drink while riding. I'll take a sip or two at a red light though.
