    apparently, you cant buy one for yourself, they have to be gifted to you.

    I was given 2, one by lyn wilson from HOG, they are supposed to be good luck, but I cant see that

    I have lost them somewhere

    Yep, had one for years. Gifted to me too. As the legend goes, the bells are used to attract the gremlins that all bikes have by the continual ringinging of the bell. As the gremlins are attracted to the bell they become a little crazy & tend to fall off the bike, that is why (as legend has it), bells are to be placed as low as possible on the bike & as far back on the bike as well. If placed anywhere else when they fall off they could reattach themselves somewhere else on the bike............believe it or not.

    Mine was placed under the number plate at the bottom of the rear fender, until the gremlins stole it. The replacement is now located at the bottom of the front crash bars..

    Safe riding to all.

    Mate you need all the luck you can get on a bike that's the way I see it.
