Custom Cupholder made quick from 4" exhaust

Stopped at McDonalds This AM. Was up at 3:30 and needed a black coffee.

Balanced the hot coffee all the way home between my legs.

Decided if I had a few minutes today, I was going to make a quick cupholder.

This is what I made.

I don't use the ash tray, so in it's place is a cupholder that I will use. Need to make a block off plate to cover the holes and match the lower dash line.

I used the existing (2) 1/2" head bolts under the ash tray area. Drilled out (2) 3/8" holes 1 1/2" apart on center. Removed the bolts, and bolted the new cupholder in place.

Just needs a block off plate and some paint.

I tell ya that works lol i like mine better though lol i got an adjustable cup holder with two cup holders on it drilled four holes on the bottom and tie wrapped it to a piece of 1/4 inch board that was about 12x6 inches. I can put it under my arm rest that folds down (2nd gen seat) or put it under the seat on the floor. Id be honored if ya'll would call it redneck

Unless it's untaxed, then it's red.

Now this is brandy new, left over new pipe. It would be redneck if and only if there was soot on the inside of the pipe.
