A Custom Touch...

[Bob Denman]

The Missus decided that Pewter looked okay...

But Gold would look better! :2thumbs:
She found some Gold enamel that would stick to my Guardian Bells, and "Voila"!

[ARtraveler]

The gold trim really does work with that model. :bowdown::bowdown::firstplace::firstplace::firstpl ace:

[Chupaca]

Let us know how it holds up when the gremlins get tied up in there....:roflblack:

[crazycanuck]

why is it that gremlins have to be gifted :dontknow::shocked: I better not buy any for myself :banghead:

[ofdave]

so how fast do you go before the road noise drowns out the tinkling of the bells?

[SpyderAnn01]

Those are pretty high off the ground to be effective.

Well Bob, you know the old saying "If mamma ain't happy ain't nobody happy." And that is SO true.

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

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 BellThere 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!

I suppose that I could mention that my 2010 RT had a single Bell down low: look what happened to it!
My 2014 had "The Twins" up by the license plate, and all was well and good!

I really liked how this looked so I placed my own order.

You should try to get a sample of the real BRP gold color for a better match on the pegs I think.

[Bob Denman]

First: we're gonna try a couple of more coats of what we've got. :thumbup:
