I've got a tip for mounting them. Go to a Budhist Temple and have them bless them and then they might actually have something other than superstitious value to them

I'd never heard that. Thanks.

Used this for several years.  Takes place of set screw in the axle nut cover.

You got that right!!!! I have had to pull over between Georgiana and Andalusia in March - April more times than I care to remember to wash the headlights and windshield off at night just to see.

Oh man..........yeah I remember those days.  I was cruising west on US 84 between Andulusia and Evergreen at night on the softail without a windshield in October.....................need I say more?  Yuck.  Whoever came up with that "bugs in the teeth/happy biker" thing never rode through scroggin' bugs.

Friend of mine gave me one of these dumb ass things. 166 miles later he rear-ended me. I won't even allow one in my house. They're sacreligeous anyway - - -paganism and all that chit.

Hey, B B, don't put one of these on your bike. [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Could not believe it when I read the label.  Guess they outsourced the label design to someone whose native language is not English.

Well a little story.... So I am going home after a second date at 130 a  cruising up the mountain road at 45 with hi beam.. no music just rethinkin the nite and conversation ..bike has 535mi and BLAM  the decision....swerve?  go straight?   cant swerve  ...up and over.    a 8" cement block in the middle of the road now explodes under my seuc.
I hit the binders and get it to the side of the road expecting both tires blown out and stranded 6 miles from BFE in the pitch dark at 30degrees.   it had gone under the front tire and got blown to hell by the nice shinny oil cooler then fragged and whacked the engine case and lower frame tube. a hunk wacks the rh bottom of the saddle bag and bounces downward and smacks the muffler heat shield.  the oil cooler,chrome cover,and thick mounting plate is bent beyond what anyone would believe yet no leaks!!   I thanked God right then and there for keeping me whole and thought just how lucky i was. I live in the most populated white tailed deer and black bear portion of the country and have learned to eye scan for gnats... but  keep watch for those things our minds dont look for. The service manager told me a story of a hi-speed swerve on the interstate when a pick-up's complete bed liner blew out and he almost drove into it live a dust-pan scoop.  boy talk about a slde!  piont of the story is Over the holidays i read the bell story and now have a huge brass bell hanging off the true-track turnbuckle.   http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2607509120382530850&pr=goog-sl  this is long but explains much.  all I know is only God saved me that night but i am all open for bells,buddah,anything . .. after all  he designed them too!!   Gene

Bummer Gene. Was that last nite? Don't take it wrong, but all the bell's in the world aren't saving anyone when the Big Man upstairs decides to call your ass up there! When your number's called, your time's up. Everyone does what they do to make themselves more comfortable with that. As long as you're not leaving it up to the bells to take care of you. And don't sell yourself short. The consious or unconsious decisions you made to do what you did, based on your experience, played a major role in your being here tell the story. Good job man. Remember, as Hoist says "One day we're all gonna wake up dead. I'm not up to that yet! Hoist!  8-)

Thanks man   naw  actually my thoughts were more along the line of hearing that thing ring reminds me of who really is in charge. Just a way to remember to thank him for every minute of wind in my face .  and to keep eyes open for kitchen sinks.   this was last week and have been waitin on chrome cover to swap out parts for...

You better hope Cindy Sheehan and/or friends are not lurking here and read you killed that innocent cement block.  [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]
