Where did you mount your Gremlin Bell?


Thx,

I have two. One is zip-tied under the oil cooler, the other hangs under the left floorboard.

If you want to stay true to the story, the bell needs to hang somewhere that the gremlins it lures will fall onto the road and not back onto the bike.

I didn't follow that rule exactly; I hung mine under my headlamp, over my front fender. When I had my wreck in July, the entire front end was destroyed but the bell came out without a scratch. Make of that what you will.

Hanging on an exhaust mount for the stock exhaust system that holds my cam position sensor wire down to the cam chest cover.

On the bottom of my engine guard. I just so happened to get two bells recently and need to find a place to put the second one. Maybe I'll try to find a place on the back of my bike frame or sWingarm and have both ends "covered". lol

Mine hangs from a key ring on a cross brass in front of the front cylinder.

Mine is in the night stand in my bedroom, I took it off when doing repairs after I hit a deer.
