    Default gremlin bell

    on other sites i was on over the years gifting a gremlin bell was
    a common practice . i have 1 left and would enjoy sending it to
    someone. i still have mine that was sent to me 14 years ago for
    my vtx 1300c and transfered to the cross roads. until i sell it
    it will remain on the bike. this bell doesnt have a spyder on it
    but works just as well .
    thank you !--irv toms

    Default Very nice...

    I do have one and carry one with me should I meet someone along the way who does not...I'm sure with the addition of members there are those that do not know the story/legend/myth of the bell but would love to have one...you should find it a home soon....

    I will let you know when it arrives. I had one given to me years ago when I had my VTX 1800, and it came up missing after I had the bike serviced. It will be nice to have one again on the Spyder.

    You may have started something here! Just might see a "Pay it Forward" Spyder Lovers style.

    Great idea about sharing gremlin bells with others on the forum.

    Bob has others covered with the legend.

    We have the gremlin bells on both our spyders. They work.

    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.

    We've always made efforts to make sure that all of our friends get a Bell.
    All that we ever ask, is that if you get one; please give one!

    Default I was gifted my first Gremlin Bell at Spyderfest!

    I was gifted a Gremlin Bell at Spyderfest this year. It was a prayer answered for me. I have been hoping for one since our first Spyder in 2012. We just got a 2015 and I still was hoping for one.

    Out of the blue a gracious couple we met at Spyderfest, without even us asking, inquired if we knew someone who needed a Gremlin Bell or if we had one. I was like OMG---really? I said I'd take it and I have it now.

    My deal is where do most of you mount your and how do you mount it so it stays on?????

    Thanks! God does work in mysterious ways- let me tell you!

    the Bell with it....
    I don't have one on my RT, although I think the idea is great.
    What's weird is, the new TRACTOR, a couple months after I got it,
    looking underneath and VOILA ! there is the BELL. This is like a new from the dealer tractor,
    and it has a bell. No way am I going to move it.

    Here is a picture of where I put the Gremlin Bell on my Spyder: this is on a 2014RTS-SE6, on the left side. Mike ( Blueknight911) used a piece of wire, and wrap it around the plastic air grill ( below the chrome piece that says "Can-Am). Someone gifted me the gremlin bell also.
