Where on your CVO did you mount your gremlin bell?
« on: November 23, 2012, 06:26:58 PM »

Curious to see where everyone put their bell. I pulled mine off my 09 FLHX and I need to put it on my new FLHXSE3

My best riding buddy bought me mine at Sturgis in 1995. When he passed away (bike wreck) I moved the bell up to my clutch cable (hydrualic line on the CVO).
Now when it dings against the switch box I always think of him.

Should be able to see my "Air Force" bell mounted low on the frame in both my avatar and the signature pictures.

Granted, this is bell #2... as it did as advertised when I 'framed' out on some rough roads in Canada.  It excepted any potential damage and kept me upright and riding.

Made it safely to Texas where I was given another one for the trip back.   8)

Wow that sucks but that is really cool the way you continue to remind yourself of him.

I see it hanging down there, I just mounted mine underneath as well but toward the oil cooler

Thanks for reminding me.  Mine's been in my glove box since it was given to me.

Mine is mounted under the front of the right floorboard, thank you Dave and Donna!

Be careful where you mount it. A lot of riders have put it on the bolt in the middle of the engine guard., only to end up denting the front fender. Under braking, the front forks will compress, the bike will drop, and the edge of the bell will come down and smack the fender.

It's a small creased ding that most folks can't see at first, but they'll find it washing the bike.

I heard that to be effective is has to be given to you by a friend and placed at the lowest possible area of your bike, that way the gremlins can never reach any part of the bike. :cucumber:.
