GREMLIN / GUARDIAN BELLS

[MichaelG]

I knew a husband and wife team during my Harley years who both mounted bells just below the tripple trees of their Road Kings. First big dip they hit put matching dents in their front fenders. I guess the luck of the bell took a vacation day during that ride. LOL.

I would have to say...whomever mounted the Ride Bells below the Triple Trees was a "dumb bell". Most people mount them on a front engine guard, down low, so that it scares the beejeebies out of the gremlins on the road.

I had a bell on the Valkyrie when I bought it (and was taught about them by the guy who sold me the bike). He was nice enough to leave it attached when he sold it, so I did the same when I sold it.

So, no bell on the F6B.

Here's mine, transferred it from the old bike. I never had one til I had a Harley. I think they need all the good mojo they can get.

It's on the front axle, not many places to put it. It's "supposed to be" out front and as low as possible, to confuse the road gremlins so they don't mess with your engine or bike.

No ding-a-lings here......or bells either.

Does anyone have one on there F6B? This will be bike #4 and never had a bell.Do you believe in having a bell or is it just a superstitous story?

Well, I guess since you're asking. No, utter pure nonsense. Can't believe anyone would be so foolish.

The Wife needs one big enough to scare dogs away,,,

Some folks believe in Bigfoot, Aliens and God. Road Gremlins shouldn't get any less respect.

They do look cool on the bike though.
