Who has a Ride Bells and where do you put it on your bike ? I received that from my brother at Chrismass. I never heard of that before...(I'm new to Harley world) Also wanderind if you hear the bell while riding or at idle. In other words, will it sound like my Ducati at idle...lol

From my search I found:
Legend has it that Evil Road Spirits have been latching themselves on to motorcycles for as long as there have been bikes on the road. These Evil Road Spirits are responsible for mechanical problems and bad luck along a journey.


Legend goes on to say that by attaching a small bell onto your bike, the Evil Road Spirits will become trapped inside the bell where the constant ringing drives them insane, making them lose their grip until they fall to the ground. (Ever wonder where potholes come from?)


Legend also has it that the mystery of the Guardian™ Bell carries twice as much power when it is purchased by a friend or loved one and given as a gift.

 

Easy here...on my trailer hitch...just use a metal tie to the frame... Joyeux Noel et Bonne annee.

 

tie it to the lowest part of the bike. and no you wont hear it.

 

Mine's on the left side passenger peg. I think one of my bikes has 2 of them. They must work 'cause I haven't crashed yet. They're supposed to go low on the bike to pick up gremlins off the road.

 

Gave one to my son for Christmas,

He needs no gremlins

 

Tie as low to the ground as possible. I sumetime can hear mine, not usually but sometimes.
DO NOT mount it on the light bar above your front fender. I did and I now have a small ding and paint chip. It is not there any more.

 

I have drilled a very small hole in each of my bikes in the front motor mount brkt and used stainless key ring loops (?) to attach them. some will say bad idea, but lets see 16000 miles on the sporty, 35000 on the dyna and almost 15000 on the roadking. ain't lost the motor yet, oh yeah, can't get much lower than that

 

got a new when from my wife when I bought the bike, had it hung where the old one was on a ring from the front axle nut cover set screw. It took a big hit one time from something and a few weeks later disappeared completely. have the old now hanging from the front frame bar under the neck but sounds like I need to move it a little lower.

can only hear it when moving the bike around with the engine off.

I never knew about these things and thought this was a custom that evolved since I stopped riding in the 80's but I have an old Easyriders from 1980 with a feature bike that looks like it has one hanging from the frame.

 

I got one for Christmas too. I was planning on just running the ring through one of my floorboard extension bolts.

 

i guess none of you guys never walk under ladders either
