NO PICS PLEASE!
Mine arrived off the semi truck that delivered it with a bell hanging from the front frame. I figured it stays with the bike it was originally on, unless there is a family history like previously posted.
The local Stealer has a HUGE display of bells, the quality heavy ones.

I have a buddy that buys/sells wrecked HD's. He has a drawer full of bells that he has taken off of them. He said nearly every bike he gets has a bell on it.

Besides you cannot buy it yourself, it has to be a gift, so... Christmast is a good excuse to exchange guardian bells.
I got mine hangin' from the gas cables.

RE: Guardian Bells do work
Have you noticed that some riders have a small bell hanging off their motorcycle frame or handlebars? Have you wondered what the purpose is? Well, you have come to the right place. That little bell is more than decoration, it serves a very important purpose – it wards off gremlins, also known as evil road spirits.
You see, there are motorcycle gremlins that LOVE to ride, but they are also mischievous little devils and they cause all sorts of problems for you while you are riding. Some say they are responsible for that old lady in the minivan not seeing you and cutting you off in traffic. Or, you may be having trouble shifting smoothly, your battery goes dead, your turn signal suddenly refuses to work, an oil spill appears out of nowhere, you hit a patch of black ice, etc – you get the idea. Those little gremlins look for trouble and try to steer your bike towards it.
Now, once you get a bell on your scoot – it wards off these attacks from the little gremlins, not allowing any more to get onto your bike. If you already have some gremlins riding with you, they will get trapped in the hollow of the bell, and the constant ringing will drive them insane – causing them to lose their grip and fall to the roadway.
Do you have the protection of a gremlin bell? If you buy a gremlin bell of your own, the power works. If you receive the gremlin bell as a gift – the powerful magic of the bell is doubled. Do you have a friend who does not have a gremlin bell yet? Why not be the person to give them one, they'll thank you! The bell, and a good preventive maintenance program by the bike's owner, will help eliminate the gremlins.
