Where did you mount your "Guardian" bell?
« on: April 16, 2014, 10:28:40 AM »

A friend gave me a "Guardian" bell but I can't figure out the best place to mount it on my 2012 SESG.  Where did you mount yours?

I don't have a bell but according to legend I think you are supposed to mount the bell low so Gremlins fall off and fall into potholes. Just be careful so the bell doesn't scrape the ground or if on the frame behind the front forks that the bell doesn't contact the front fender when the forks are compressed on bumps etc.

Front frame location; I used the area where the floorboard bracket attaches to the frame.

Bar soldered on the end of the bell I wear as a penis stud.  It's why I jingle when I dance.

I took the easy way out and hung the bell from the engine crash bar using a stainless steel zip-tie from Home Depot.  So far it has worked perfectly!  Disregard all the crap on the bike - I just came in from a ride and it will get washed tomorrow!
