I like many others have mine hanging from my right floor board bracket. It has a skull on it and drags the street a bit in right turns but I like the sound. Have not went down yet and maybe the reason why.

Mine has an Angel and was given to me by the Man that sold me the bike.

I was told that the bell must be given to you by another for luck and should not be purshased by the rider.
Any truth to this?

Cheap??? Or has it done it's job and taken the beaten instead of you / your bike?

Got mine from a riding buddy, he bought it in New Orleans. When I later got to New Orleans I found some small skulls and bones in a juju shop and added them to the string for the bell. I'l take all the help I can get, from either end of the spectrum! :-)

With the bad drivers in cages in LV you just can't be too careful...

We have one USMC for myself and one Lady Rider for my wife, they were given to us from an old friend (rider) when we purchased the bike. One on each side at the bottom front of the frame.

No bell here. Think they are a bit weird.

I had one, the bell fell off and I never bothered to replace. The bell won't keep you safe, attention and common sence will......
