guardian bells
this might be a stupid question but where do you attach a guardian bell on your bikes?
Thanks

RE: guardian bells
As close to the ground as possible. I have mine hanging from the right footboard bracket. You can see it in my sig pic. I can hear it tingle when I make a right turn and it has the scuff marks to prove it.

Legend says low is best, near the ground. That said I have mine on the throttle cable, up on the handle bars, it's saved me more than once.

RE: guardian bells
I just saw at a rally small set screws with a key ring attached. They screw in to the chrome covers on the nuts for your front axle. Bell will hang next to tire below your forks. Thought this was better than under the frame.

I don't and won't. The last thing I want is something else dinging or rattling while I'm going down the road.

Have mine on the exhaust mounting at the rear fender. Between the fender and the exhaust. Works for me.
