Great story, and that's why I always keep a bottle of marvel mystery oil around. It's got a million uses.

I bought the regular size, perch mount. They have a jumbo size too but was leery of the bulk.
Haven't used it yet while riding but it holds a bottle very securely. To get a bottle out you need to give it a twist while lifting up. Lifting straight up won't get the bottle out, the rubber cage is very grippy.
It's a solid product and very easy to install.
I can give a better review after having a chance to use it in real life.

I liked the fact they had a perch mount. Good to hear.

I have one but it has just the ring which works great with the included cup or a Yeti.. The cup that comes with it sucks. The cup cover and ring around the top is very cheap and comes apart easily. The ring just pulls right off. I replaced it with a Yeti. Now it's good! I got mine with the Chrome ring that goes around the handlebar to attach it. It looks good but it's made of plastic so it's got me concerned but I've put about 700 miles on the bike with that on it and so far so good. Time will tell

Today i removed the RSD velocity stack and installed a new TRASK Assault Charge high flow intake. It was also a good opportunity to give the throttle body and butterfly valve a good clean.

Off with the RSD....


and

On with the TRASK....
