Anyone use a cremation urn gremlin ride bell with a loved one's ashes on their bike? If so, how is the quality and how is it holding up? I see a few different places offer varying ones.
My wife recieved one from her sister. For some reason, when I took her bike out for a ride, it wasn’t there afterwards.
Stopped off somewhere and ignored the bike for a few hours, so it could have been stolen. But I doubt that.
Needless to say, my honey was very upset. So I replaced it. Gotta keep my Karma true

I am interested too. Would like my Brother with me when I ride.
This is an older thread, so for an update I got a bell from awybell.com (site says down for maintenance currently). They had some really nice bells, one that was a rhodium finish that looked chrome which is the one I went with. They have a screw bottom where you place the ashes and then install the cap using provided sealant. My mother loved angels so I got one with an angel on it. She always wanted to take a ride on the bike and I felt guilty that I could not accommodate her request as she was not well enough/able to physically be put on the bike. This way she is always on my handlebars.

Very cool and thank you for sharing. I have not received a gremlin for my new bike yet in spite of mentioning this to Mrs. Guess I will send her something hoping she will remember. My son passed this year and have thought about this.
I am curious though how this works out on your handlebars, not wanting anything to get scratched? Don't think I would want one to be mounted traditionally, near the bottom of the bike and most certainly don't ever want to lost it.

Well it's really not a bell is it? It's a bell shaped container.
If you know what a gremain bell is supposed to be for,, then you'll still need to get one.

You are a good human Brother. Ride safe with your Mom looking over you.

Correct, I've got to other "actual bells" on the bike as well that were gifted per superstitious protocol to ward off gremlins.
