    Default A Custom Touch...

    The Missus decided that Pewter looked okay...

    But Gold would look better!
    She found some Gold enamel that would stick to my Guardian Bells, and "Voila"!

    FARKLING UPDATE:
    I found a can of Rustoleum; in Gold Metallic!
    We gave the license plate frame, the eyelets holding the Guardian Bells, and the highway peg inserts a drink of it!

    Today: I added a touch of Custom from Wrapmyspyder.com

    The Triple.jpg

    I contacted Pete a little while back, and asked him if he could take his "1330 Triple" graphics, and stack the
    lettering for me.
    I replaced the BRP Power graphics on the side panels with them, and I think that the Gold "1130" really pops.
    (I have to try and figure out why my flash wasn't going off...)

    I'm not sure, but I think Ann may be right about the bell being too high up. Here are the 'rules';

    The Rules of the Bell

    There are some “rules,” however, to the Gremlin Bell and how it works:

    • It should not be bought by the user – in order to work, it must be given to a rider from a loved one. According to the legend, a bell is “activated” by the gesture of good will when someone, especially another rider, gives it to a rider they care abou as a giftt.
    • It should be attached to the lowest part of the frame. Because gremlins lurk on the roadways and “grab” onto bikes as they pass by, the low-hanging bell should be the first thing they contact, so that they are immediately captured by it. It should be attached securely – safety wire is sometimes used, but that can create rust and scratches, so a zip-tie is generally the preferred method.
    • When a bike with a bell on it is sold, it should be removed. The Gremlin Bell is a gesture of kindness to a rider from someone who cares about them, so it should be kept by the intended recipient, and can be transferred to another bike. If someone sells a bike with a bell and they want the new rider to have it, they should still remove it, and give it to them face to face. A bell that is not given with intentional good will loses its spirit-fighting mojo.
    • If someone steals a Gremlin Bell, the gremlins go with it – and the bell will no longer ward them off. The key to the bell’s power is good will. If it is stolen, it loses its effect…and karma will take care of the rest!
