    Default Where is your Gremlin Bell located?

    Okay, i was reading another post about the etiquette of removing your Gremlin Bell when trading in your motorcycle (to put on your new Spyder) and it got me to wondering where everybody has mounted their Gremlin Bells. I chose the little "hook" under the footbrake. Since the dealer shaved off a bit of the rubber stopper to stop my brake lights from staying on (known problem with the 2013 ST's), the brake pedal sits much higher than it did before, making it the ideal place to mount my Gremlin Bell. It can be seen, yet is not noticeable unless you are looking for it. I have attached a few pics of mine and would love to see some pics and/or feedback from others...

    Lot's of answers coming up here. The "rules" say as low to the ground as possible so the gremlins will be scared off better.

    On my Spyder, attached to the brake arm; on the Vulcan, under the right floorboard. Both are pretty much at the lowest part of the bike to keep those evil gremlins from getting close to anything important.

    Mine is on the A-frame Arm (lowest point) one my RT. Really covered my bases (unnecessarily) and put bell on both sides at very bottom of A-frame Arms. Looks cool too, with matching Bells.

    My bells are on the right side "radiator" grill--near the oil check. Since they are too high, I have two. I was asked a couple of times if the were too loud when I drive on the super slab. I was really asked that. I laughed so hard I thought I was gonna wet myself.

    Mine is on the zipper pull of the frunk liner. I try to always keep a spare one in the frunk to pass on to someone else.
