Question for owners of "Cupholders"

Those dash mounted cup holders, will they hold 20oz. soda bottles? I know they hold 12oz. cans just fine but a 20oz. water bottle from Sams Club is too fat. Although they are shorter than a 20oz. soda bottle. Don't have a bottle here to try and don't want to mount this thing if it won't hole what I drink?? Time to play help the dummy once again it seems! Thanks

Phil, I would recommend getting the cup holder/console from a 700. You can get them here. http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/2/Yamaha.aspx They are listed under 08 700 sidexside. The drop down box look under "Stand Footrest" . It will be part #3 for $32.

This is the route I went. I had the dash mounted one and it got in the way of shifting into Low Gear. It was a knuckle banger.

I have one. I like it right up until the time I have to remove my center console. Then I cuss it like a red-headed stepchild.
I would say it would hold a 200z bottle. Mine is a J-Strong and I believe it will.

Sorry Phil, all I know is that they will hold a 12 OZ can of beer... Beer

This is what I'm using -- and it will hold 20oz bottles or the smaller insulated coffee mugs with handles.

Also comes in handy for holding little things like cell phones, camera batteries, etc. I didn't screw mine down, since I didn't have long enough screws to hold it on top of the Yamaha floor mats that are about 1/2" thick. Glad I didn't -- it doesn't move around when riding, yet is easy to tilt and lift out when it't time to wash the mud out of the Rhino...

Here's a link for it at Cabela's but I got mine for $90 as I recall, though I can't remember if it was eBay or where.
