RE: Where to mount a Gremlin Bell?
Okay just when I think I'm becoming somewhat knowledgable and less of a noob, something like this comes along and smacks me back to reality. I guess I get a sense of what this is about but can someone explain to me the origins and the purpose and the apparent supersticious nature of this gremlin bell thing?

It's just a small bell, they have them at HD sometimes, but they 'work best' if someone gives it to you as a gift. One of my coworkers gave me mine. They hang low, so when gremlins get captured within, they drop off, this explains pot holes! Hence, keeping yer bike "gremlin free" [:@]

" Have you noticed that some riders have a small bell hanging off their motorcycle frame or handlebars? Have you wondered what the purpose is? Well, you have come to the right place. That little bell is more than decoration, it serves a very important purpose – it wards off gremlins, also known as evil road spirits.
You see, there are motorcycle gremlins that LOVE to ride, but they are also mischievous little devils and they cause all sorts of problems for you while you are riding. Some say they are responsible for that old lady in the minivan not seeing you and cutting you off in traffic. Or, you may be having trouble shifting smoothly, your battery goes dead, your turn signal suddenly refuses to work, an oil spill appears out of nowhere, you hit a patch of black ice, etc – you get the idea. Those little gremlins look for trouble and try to steer your bike towards it.
Now, once you get a bell on your scoot – it wards off these attacks from the little gremlins, not allowing any more to get onto your bike. If you already have some gremlins riding with you, they will get trapped in the hollow of the bell, and the constant ringing will drive them insane – causing them to lose their grip and fall to the roadway.
Do you have the protection of a gremlin bell? If you buy a gremlin bell of your own, the power works. If you receive the gremlin bell as a gift – the powerful magic of the bell is doubled. Do you have a friend who does not have a gremlin bell yet? Why not be the person to give them one, they'll thank you! The bell, and a good preventive maintenance program by the bike's owner, will help eliminate the gremlins."

Yes it will be 100% Harley certified Dyna air, and I am having them put a full 40 lbs in, and I'll let a few lbs out when I get home
