How's your bells hanging ?

[Eddie]

Just wondering how you guys hung your bells to your bike. I haven't looked at the bike yet but just wondering where you guys are hanging the bells

[86er]

My 86 has a front axle from a pre 86 so it has a hole for a cotter pin that I don't need to use, so I used a ring like for keys and fed it thru that hole and the handle of bell.

On my 01, theres a rubber flap just at the front of the motor, punched a whole and just used the keyring that was attached.

:322:Someone is supposed to give the bell to you. Follow the legend. I used a black wire tie thru the key ring.

Eddie,

On the '99 I had mine attached with a black ziptie on the lower most portion of the crash bar. Thats probably where the next one will go on the next bike

If you look real close, you can see it just behind the kick stand. I attached it to one of the small holes in the undercarrage.

[Keitho]

There are two brackets under the motor (part of the frame) I believe that these are for a centre stand. I threaded mine through one of the bracket holes with the key ring on the bell.

From what I have read , the Gremlin bell should be placed at the most furthest forward on the scoot and hung lowest to the ground as possible , to scoop up the gremlins before they can attach themselves to the scoot . And when the bell rings , it causes the gremlins loose grip and to fall off to a terrible demise before they can do damage to the scoot and rider . That is for the Silver/Pewter Bells . Brass Gremlin bells are for remembrance of fallen riders . Each time you clean the scoot and more importantly the Brass bell , it shows respect towards the fallen .

 

I have my bell hung nearest the ground , attached to the right front crash bar . Once I find a way , I will attach it to the front axle . My second bell is attached to the tongue of the BEERCART . Lord , as anyones knows , I don't want no damn gremlin drinking my beer ! That beer is reserved for myself and my friends !!!!! :rotf:

Ain't no gremlins -- hung mine on a helmet lock. It's at the back and can catch my exhaust as I roll by the cagers and pull them along.

i am from the old school , i have my 1st bell , the 1 my wive gave me when we bought the bike hanging from my master cylinder for the front brake and the VR bell hangs from the clutch master cylinder , i use them to call my guardian angel to take care of me and keep me safe before i go riding . monks used to make them for travelers that make risky trips in the south west , the 1st time i heard the story it was a cowboy that was throne from his horse and he was praying for help and ringing his guardian bell and some old desert rats heard him and saved him , when i was in the navy i was told the same story but it was a shipped wrecked sailer .

I'm afraid that if I put mine on the crash bar or by the kickstand I would drag it off in a turn!

 

[Uturn]

Just thinking - is it ok to swap the bell to my new bike? Then he who buys my '99, I'll give them a gift of their own bell.

As long as your not giving it to yourself, I'm sure it will be fine

Me too, John.

Couldn't be simpler, could it?

Have attached a foter (very small crop of a much larger photo) to show it in situ.

. . . and to show you how much of a crop that was, here's the original foter.
