Where is a good place to attach a bell on a 2021 RT L?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

On my 2021 RTL I hung it inside the frunk on the zipper pull that opens the panel to the battery… simply because it was a gift from a truly close friend and I wanted to keep it in nice condition and not lose it… I cherish our friendship.
I was tired of seeing how nasty they get hanging on the exterior, underside of a bike. It is still “in front” of the driver seat beating off the gremlins before they get me and I feel it is doing the job intended… and that’s what counts!

We have F3L. We put ours on the rear trunk luggage rack.
Yes, I know they are supposed to be close to the ground. We are probably losing some of the mojo. Used to hang them from the control wires on the handle bars. :bowdown:

This is my usual spot.
But really anywhere a zip tie will fit (which is just about everywhere).

I picked this version up from Amazon. Search guardian bell for many additional versions. Not "officially" connected with HD. Have never owned a HD, but have had guardian bells on all my bikes since way back when. Just to make sure. :yes:
There are many stories surrounding the mysterious Guardian Bell Legend (Also known as a gremlin bell). This adventure is set during the Second World War, where the legend began.Throughout history, the Guardians, a genderless offshoot of the fairies, have entrusted a select few humans with a precious gift: a guardian bell. After an unwelcome exile from their homeland, the Guardians are forbidden any future contact with humans. With the arrival of aeronautics, the Guardian's love of everything technological made it inevitable that their presence would become known. The guardians were soon known as "gremlins" blamed for every mishap, although the opposite was really the case. A group of guardians break the rules and forge a friendship with an RCAF air force pilot, resulting in an epic journey and the birth of a legend. This re-telling of a legend, well loved by motorcycle enthusiasts, will enchant readers of all ages.

NO-------- I've had on on my poor, old, slow V-Max since I acquired it. It's a '98 and slightly modded. Almost trouble free ( and many are NOT) for all these years.........
I've gifted many a gremlin bell.

LEGEND OF THE GREMLIN BELL
Many years ago, on a cold December night a crusty old biker was returning from a trip to Mexico with his saddlebags filled with toys and other assorted trinkets for the kids at a group home, near where he worked. As he rode along that night he thought how lucky he had been in life, having a loving riding partner that understood his need to roam the highways on his trusty old bike that hadn’t let him down once in the many years they shared the road together.
About 40 miles north of the border, in the high desert lurked a small group of those notorious little critters known as road gremlins, you know the ones that always leave little obstacles like, one shoe, boards, pieces of old tires, and dig the dreaded pot holes for bikers to run over and crash thus giving the road gremlins a chance to rejoice over their acts of evil.
As the old biker rounded a curve that moonlit night the gremlins ambushed him, causing him to crash to the asphalt and skid before coming to a stop next to one of his saddlebags that had broken free. As he lay there, unable to move, the road gremlins made their move towards him. This biker, not being one to give up, started throwing things at the gremlins as they approached. Finally, with nothing else to throw but a bell he started ringing it in hopes it would scare off the dirty little gremlins.
About a half a mile away camped in the desert, were two bikers sitting around a camp fire talking about their days ride, and the freedom of the wind blowing in their faces as they rode across this vast country. In the stillness of the night air, they heard what sounded to them like church bells ringing and upon investigating, found the old biker lying along the roadside with the gremlins about to get him. Needless to say, they proceded to ward off the gremlins until the last of gremlins ran off into the night.
Being grateful to the two bikers the old road dog offered to pay them for their help, but as all true bikers do, they refused to accept any type of payment from him. Not being one to let a good deed go unnoticed, the old biker cut two pieces of leather from his saddle bags tassels and tied a bell to each one, then slowly placed them on each of the bikers motorcycles, as near to the ground as possible. The tired, old road warrior, then told the two travelers that with those bells placed on their bikes they would be protected from the road gremlins and that if ever in trouble, just ring the bell and a fellow biker will come to their aid.
So whenever you see a biker with a bell you’ll know that he has been blessed with one of the most important thing in life - friendship from a fellow biker.
When you purchase a gremlin bell and place it on your bike, it offers protection. If you receive the gremlin bell as a gift, the powerful magic of the bell is doubled. You want the bell to be low to the ground, but not so low it will catch on obstacles and come off. Place it as forward as possible, so the road gremlins will jump away when they first hear you.

Most of my rides are solo, but when I ride with one or two others, the only rider with a gremlin bell is on his V-Rod. That V-Rod is the only one that we've had to stop along the roadside for repairs. I don't think he has one on his Africa Twin.
I'll leave the moral of this story to your imagination.

Now, don't start bashing Harley. The V-Rod is an awesome bike. The repair that I remember was because he changed his battery and did not properly reconnect an oil breather hose, so it was blowing some oil.
