Nice concept but don't think it will fit anywhere on a Vision. I like the quick release part of it.

If it can grip securely to the somewhat square shaped passenger grab handles of the Goldwing then it should do similarly well on either the Visions handlebars (including the '08-'09 with cast bars) as well as the passenger grab rails.

Far less expensive than the Ram Mount Cupholder, and it looks better too!

Should work as is. Lower the part so it touches the top of the sidecase and if you're concerned, line the gripping part with a thin piece of rubber for extra grip (hot glue a small piece of bicycle tube or something). Should work just fine.

I have that cupholder and I tried to attach it to the passenger grap rails. While it did hold securely, it was not completely upright and marred the grab rails. It doesn't hold well on the early Vision's odd contoured handlebars. If someone could come up with an insert that when added to the concave handlebar profile, created a round bar, it probably would work. Probably a simple project to shape a piece of wood.

I got one for my wife last year at Americade. It works but has a couple problems. Even with it very tight it wants to slip on the squire bar. You also need to be very careful not to set it to low because the bags hit when you open them. They also scratch and mark up the grab handles. Over all it is worth using but just be very careful using it. I will not be able to take any pic till Monday (Heading to Pa for the weekend) but I will post something Monday.

I have been using the it (chubbycup) for a while now, it seems to work pretty good for me.

Put a black Kruzer Kaddy on my 2011 Vision blends in with the brake resivour and is hardly noticable but puts a bottle of water in easy reach.

Had a chrome one on DC and it went with her to the salvage auction

+1 on Kruzer Kaddy... I too have the black on on my black handlebars.  Blends in great!

I have a Kruzer Kaddy on each bar. They are handy. I can drink a bottle of water and leave the empty in the Kruzer Kaddy until I stop. It has never tried to blow out of the Kaddy.

Plus, they fit cell phones and other items. but be careful since they do hold a little water in the rain.
