Default Where's your bell?
I just got my Fatboy Saturday night and a friend gave me a riding bell. I know I could probably hang it anywhere but being new to HD, just was wondering where's the best place to hang it? There's no dumb question right??? Well this one may actually be> oh well.

Most folks I see put them on the little tab under the peg/floor boards on the right hand side. Look under there and you'll see a tab ith a hole in it that looks like it's made for it.

Thumbs up
If you read the instructions, it states it should be put on the lowest part of your frame. Close to the ROAD,(scare them EVIL SPIRITS away) mine is on the underside of my chrome cover on my voltage regulator.

**** photo but you can see it. It's hanging by a black zip tie on the cross brace on the upper down tubes of the frame. Just as they split at the neck.



No one has pointed it out so it could be kind of hidden but I think that's how it should be.

I tied my guardian bell around the highway bar bracket. My dad bought mine for me the day I was at the dealer picking up my bike. I did the same for my bro-in-law the day we went to get his Fatboy.
