Dayum! I gotta have that!

Hog Trough Cup Holder

Wow, I love this product! Go ahead, scoff at the idea of a cup holder, but it sure is nice to have a cold drink on a hot day, or a hot drink on a cold day while I’m riding down the road! It mounted easily on the left lower of my bike and is easy to use while riding. The mount comes with a lock, which I like for security purposes, although it won’t stop anyone from walking away with the cup. I did have to cut a couple inches off the straw because the cup rotates in the cup holder and it was rubbing against my tank. The insulated cup keeps beverages hot or cold for quite a while and there is no spillage due to a cap on the straw. The only rough part is trying to get the cap back on the straw while riding. I worked out a system after a couple uses and isn’t a problem now. Highly recommend!

Saddlemen S3500 Deluxe Sissy Bar Bag

I bought this bag for $224.00 from Revzilla, and it’s worth every penny! I had no problem fitting everything I needed (and more) for a two week bike trip into this pack. There are plenty of internal and external pockets. A couple features make this bag worth the bucks to me. First, it opens from both sides, rather than the top… no digging down into the bottom of the bag to find that extra sweatshirt! Simply unzip one or both sides while the bag is still on the bike! Second, I really like the moveable/removable shelf in the large section of the bag. This makes access and organization much easier. I had enough room to store my half-shell helmet and a pair of flip-flops on top of the shelf while still having plenty of room for clothes under it. There is an additional cylindrical bag that attaches to the top of the larger pack. It stores the rain cover for the bag, and I had plenty of room for a pair of sneakers, some toiletries, and a couple extra sets of Cuddl Duds.
