I think they work. Personally I think mines working against me though, attracting gremlins. I know I've dropped my bike twice since putting one on.

All I know is what I've been told over the years. Your bell must be given to you by someone who cares about you. When I sell a bike the bell stays with me. I have 4 Harleys and YES they all have bells. Been down hard a few times over the years, still breathing and riding. Same knots on arm as bell.

As for me, I don't think so, nice thoughts however, from the one that gave it to you, shows they care

But you realize they're "not" the same, right?

Yes the Gremlin bell really works, for what I use it for. Every time that I see it,
it tells me that I have a true friend that I can count on if and when my bike
and or chips or down. I use my bell for a reminder.
