My girls bought me a bell. I have it tied up inside the bag on my Heritage. I want to go bagless.. Where do you guys tie up your bell and what do you use?
Closest to the ground up front, where the gremlins try to jump on your ride...and make you break down.
Attached to the frame up front as low to the ground as it can be
This. It's meant to be as low to the ground as possible. If you put it on either side, then there's a chance of it hitting the ground on bends, so on the frame is the best place. If you don't have an engine guard, then you can use the holes on the frame where that mounts up in front of the floorboards/footpegs.
You can make out the little bugger in this pic. Tied to the little loop at the front of the floorboard mount. I used both the leather tie it came with and a zippy to make sure it don't come off.
I made an ss arm that looks very much like a small box end wrench and bolted it under where the engine guard attaches pointing forward. I did not read through this thread, but resist attaching it under the headlight as it can dent your fender when you hit a pothole (did my son-in-laws bike).
