Either double-up as folks mention, or find another use. What ever you do, don't replace an existing (already working) gremlin bell. That's bad Mo-Jo.

Wear it around your neck as a necklace, put it on your keychain, tie it on your boot with the laces, or put it in your bike bag to give to another biker that you help in the future.

I don't want to keep adding bells but I don't want to offend anyone either.
I'm curious how many bells we're talking about here. How many in a "set"? How many extras total?

I have been riding for going on 50 years. Take those little bells and give them to your parakeets or cockatiels.
Just sayin'...................................

Unhappy Husband's gremlin bell off wrecked bike

I lost my husband, my rock, my best friend on Oct. 9th 2016 to injuries received from a motorcycle wreck on Oct. 6th 2016 in Gulfport, MS. Every year, we always ride our motorcycles down with the Governor of Mississippi for the ride for the Wounded Warriors and then stay for the week following for Cruising the Coast. My husband rode a 2013 Herirage Softail Classic and I ride an '06 Heritage Softail Classic. I removed my husband's gremlin bell that I gave him when we bought our bikes after the wreck. My question is what do I do with the bell now? I had thought about keeping it but I'd really like to know what the proper protocol is for gremlin bells that are involved in a fatal crash. I read a suggestion on another site that said to burn and melt the bell until it is completely destroyed and then bury it. If I do that, should I bury it in the dirt at my husband's grave or at my house? Or do I keep it? Is it cursed since the wreck was fatal? Does it have bad spirits in it? My husband was so very proud of his bike and was so very happy when he was riding. He has left a huge void and the pain is unbearable. I would appreciate any answers or advice y'all can give me. Thank you. Rest In Peace, my dear, sweet Jeff Parker.

Missy, very sorry for your loss.

Regarding the bell there is no protocol, just a lot of superstition, myth and storytelling. The bell is yours. Whatever helps bring you peace will be the right thing to do.

God bless.
