All H-D dealerships have them and nearly all biker type shops have them. Lore says the bell works best if it's given to you as a gift by a family member or friend.
My bell has worked well - 85,000 trouble-free miles so far!
If you have to buy a bell give it to a friend who rides and hope that they give one back to you, the only way that they are suspose to work is if you recieve them as a gift.
My WITCHDOCTOR brewed up a potion for me when I first started riding. I wear it around my neck it keeps the bad bike spirits away and guarantees me a safe ride. If you feel that the bell will help to keep you safe so be it. I would rather rely on common sense and experience my self. Willing to listen to any opinion on the bell and if they sound right I would be willing to have someone send me one. If you want to send me one contact me via EMail and I will send you my address. It must be getting late I can't see any reason for writing this. I think that I will go out and stare at my Bike for a while.
I see them more as a "Friendship" bell. That is, given to someone that you care about, or received from someone that is a friend. In that regards, I think they're neat.
Example: We (wife and I) bought one for the daughter and her SO.
