My wife bought me a new bell for each bike, the first one is in our office on the desk in one of those little cover case thing hanging. I have bought her one of her first bike.

Mine sits off the front of the frame. It was given to me by my 3 kids for Father's Day...

I made the mistake of using a tie wrap to connect mine to my front axle nut..... was at a friends, looked down and saw only the strap that was broken... NO BELL..... I have been very cautious since and my buddy is going to pick me up a replacement....

Dealer gave me mine- it's on the frame down by the RH floorboard.

A few weeks ago one of the members on here, shawnpd, solicited for dealer pins for his wheelchair-bound sister's birthday this month. I sent several pins- and I also sent a ride bell for her to put on her wheelchair.
Don't matter what ya ride, as long as ya ride...

I'm noticing a pattern, Alot a people have their bells hanging under their right hand floorboard. Any reason why the right side. Mine is on the right and the left side under the foot pegs. I figure I would get the road demons no matter which way they come. So far no issues. I guess they do work .

Buddy at work bought one for my bike and clued me into the whole demon/guardian/ride bell stories. It hangs off the frame near the right foot peg.
