    Default Does a Guardian Bell have more than one life?

    Right after getting my Yamaha Royal Star Venture I got myself a guardian bell. It's been said that it's only half as good if you buy it yourself but for the last 66k+ miles it's done a great job for me. No accidents, never dropped the bike and I could always see it hanging there while riding. Today I took it off the Yamaha to put on my new Spyder.
    THE BELL WORKED but is it still good???

    Bob is a good guy with good intentions, however, yours worked for you that long you might think twice about parting with it. Just a thought. What the hey, run two, shouldn't hurt anything. After all, you'd be benefiting from twice the coverage.

    We have a couple on both bikes. Given to us by friends of course. So far--they are working.

    There are several printed legends on the internet. Just search "guardian bell" and they will pop up. Take your pick.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Default Grimlin Bell

    I Bought my own but I used the wife's credit card to pay for it. Does that count as getting it from someone else.

    I kind of counts: just like cheating off of your neighbor's test paper during a final exam!

    And the pastor asked one of the congregation why he hadn't been in church the previous Sunday.

    The devoted bike rider said the weather was fantastic and he figured it be better out riding and thinking about God instead of sitting in the pew thinking about riding....

    Ride Safe...

    I think his track record with motorcyclists is right up there with the Gremlin Bell, for sure.

    Huh! Didn't think of that before I rode last Friday 13th. Had a safe, good ride, bell hanging below my foot. One thing I have always heard is to attach the bell as close to the road as possible. From there, the bell is closer to the road demons and can slay them easier.

    I’ve always been told as close to the road as possible, so mine is underneath the spyder, just inches from the pavement. I received my first gremlin bell back in ‘87 when I bought my new GW.....that was many years ago, and whenever I sell a mc, the bell goes with it, and I await a new bell. Shortly after I got my Spyder, low and behold...I received a new bell.

    Remember ATG ATT? add ATGB. (All the gear, all the time and the gremlin Bell)

    Where and how does everyone secure the bell on their Spyder?
