Has anyone fitted a drinks holder? If you have how did you do it please?

A couple of differnt ways.  I purchased a RAM Mount Ball that fit into the mirror mount and also purchased their arm and drink holder.

I have since moved this arrangement to my R&G Engine Guards just in front of my left knee.  Works great.

I use a 1.5 liter Geigerrig pressurized drink bladder that will even fit in my small tank bag, so I wouldn't be a good source of information on a drink holder.

I use  RAM mount and a 'Bike Buoy' cup holder.  I think they were originally designed for boats and such.
Only drawback - tall cups make it top heavy and it will want to tip.  So I set it up so the bottom edge just contacts the brake reservoir lid.  No more tipping.

Found some leftover Ram Mounts in my Garmin box, and bought a Ram cup holder from Sport Touring here in the UK

Sorry Forgot to mention you need to turn the mount 180 degrees when using the tank bag

  Seems a really "in your face" method of mounting. I prefer my 2.5 litre container attached to the right pillion peg with the drink hose up to the tank bag method. But whatever works for you is good.

Almost invariably travel two up, my wife used to hold the bottle in her hand, but for 200-500 mile days on tour this was not good for her.
The position of the bottle without the tank bag i.e. my side of the bars works great for a quick drink at traffic lights, so in my face is just where I
need it.
The cup holder can hold a thermos flask instead, which is guaranteed to keep hot for 16 hours, in case we want to stop for coffee.
