RE: Gremlin Bells
I've had one on every bike I've owned for the last decade or more. Usually my wife gives it to me but most recently my son gave it to me. With the new Heritage another HD riding bud gave me one. Don't know if they work, but I do like the idea of having something like that "gifted" to you.

I had one, bought it for myself (oh no!
), and caught so much grief about it, that I finally gave it to a riding buddy who needed one. Now waiting for a replacement to be gifted to me to straighten my karma back out. Sure, it's a gimmick, but I do like them.

RE: Gremlin Bells
My girl was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay againt gettin a bike, but I bought it quick before she really had time to b!tch at me for even thinkin about it (still young and not married, so that works)........ when she gave me a gremlin bell it was a bigsurprise and it ment that she went to the cycle shop on her own.... almost a sign of her acceptance. Bet your A$$ I run that bell on the bike

RE: Gremlin Bells
Well,
One day years ago, I was on a long ride way out in the country and stopped in at one of those old country stores that you see that has the wooden porch over the pumps and crackers and hang-down sausage and cheese on the counter and cold beer and gas, pickled eggs and pigs feet and all the "good" stuff.
I parked the bike out to the side in the front and went inside for a cold beverage and when I came back out, there was this old biker that looked like he was at least ahundred years old sitting out front on the bench looking at my bike. I sat down to have a drink and he asked me, "Is that there one of them Gremlin Bells hangin' off your bike?"and I told him it was and a nice young lady had given it to me and it seemed to be working just fine...........
Then he said...."Ya know, I been ridin' since somewhere around '09, and the only thing I ever found that will counter-act a Gremlin Bell, is reading a thread about them on the Internet"
So I left..............

I run with my bell haning off one of my cables up near the right grip. I like to know its the bell making a sound and not something else. I haven't seen many hanging like this. Does anyone else do the the same?
