I'd say that this one will hold quite a bit of your favorite beverage.

I'm REALLY having to bite my tongue on this one.  I have to agree with the "nothing says sport-tour...." comment.

I prefer a funnel, but only off the bike.

Have you got a hose running down you pant leg for an overflow tube?

I would have to agree with that comment.  But I have a 350 mile run just to get out of FL and it's hot here.  32oz of ice water gets me a long way up the road.

That pic makes the cup look about twice the size it really is.  I ttook me many years before I broke down and put one on my Wing.  Now I really like it even thoughI hate looking at it.

Good suggestion as what goes in must come out...

By the way the only time I ever thought about "wish i had a cupholder" was during an off-road ADV bike excursion in the desert.  My ADV bike was in Fl so I put the C14 to the test.  It passed.

What, you want me to feel sorry for you?  I live in Houston.  We are on day 12 of 100 plus in a row (over 20 for the year).  Don't get me wrong - I've been to Florida many times and it feels just as bad.   :pukeface:

+1 Heat is no excuse to leave a bike parked.  Mine has been on the desert this summer, all over TX, and all over FL. Hottest place was KEY WEST!

I should've been in this boat instead of sitting on my bike taking pics.

The Butler is the preferred holder on the Wings.  If I was going to use one it would probably be a Butler.  I prefer to use a 18oz  Thermos from Walgreens and place it in the tank bag.   It is OUTSTANDING, here is a link:

Any one is hard to use if you wear a full face helmet.

How incredibly unsafe!  Personally I like to keep a camel-back full of vodka  :P

During the winter I use this one to get my coffee from home to work.

That's also what I use.  We(my wife and I) think it works pretty slick.  Always upright and that's a good thing.  ;)

A cup holder on a sport-tourer is not my cup of tea, but if you gotta have one, this one looks good and is designed for the C14:

I throw my Camel Back in my tank bag and call it good. Load it with what ever you like and suck away, it's easy to use even with a tight fitting full-face helmet. When I don't have tank bag I throw it on my back.
