Drink holder for passenger

I did not get the part number, but my dealer carries a Kuryakyn with a chrome upper ring and a mesh basket that mounts to the grab rails. My wife is happy to let her drink ride between her and my backrest. She is constantly drinking from it anyway and a holder would inconvenience her.
 
I have a 2015 Tri-Glide and I wanted a place to mount a water bottle holder that was easily accessible for me while stopped at a light or even while riding on the open road. I wanted it to be unobtrusive, out of the way and did not want it to block any of the gauges or stick out like a sore thumb. I settled on mounting an inexpensive bicycle water bottle cage bolted through the left side panel.

When it is safe, I can easily reach it, take a sip and put it back while riding. I don't have a passenger at the moment so I only have one on the left side. But I just went and tried sitting in the passenger seat, and it would be very easily accessible for your wife or any passenger and well out of the way of their legs while seated.

These water bottle cages come in many different configurations. styles, colors and price ranges from $4.95 for ones like I am using from Walmart, or up to well over $50 for cool carbon fiber cages. The mounting holes are a universal spacing so changing cages is easy peasy.

My wife can't live without a soda of some type. I put the H-D slip over cover with drink holder on the driver backrest. It also holds the small camera and phone in separate pouches. I could probably get the drink out of the mesh holder while driving but, I don't think I would stand much chance getting it back in place while driving. Myself I'm not big on snacking or drinking while I'm driving. I just catch up at the next gas stop.

What's the part number for the HD slip-over cover T?
 
Part #93300098 for slip cover organizer that goes on driver back rest. Slips over easy and laces to tighten up. It looks good in place as it has the same finish as the backrest. Looks just like the picture on the H-D web site. So far the soft drink webbing is holding up well. It has only been on since mid July though.
