I do. I saw someone selling a Shriner's bell. Now, I would love to get my hands on that dinger.

Mine has a "dragon" on it and I received it as a gift from friends who used to ride with me and I have always kept it on my latest scoot. I hang it down below the frame, underneath the bike towards the front somewhere and I use a black plastic industrial type tie to hang it there.

Here's my bell. I bought the bike with it already on. I hope that's not bad luck. I've been riding it for almost 2 years without incident. Knock on wood.

Have you tried Certs?

Default Guardian bell

Mine hangs low on the left side of my bike. I've had it on for years. My wife use to have one too.....until she hit a deer near Wisconsin a couple of years ago. I nearly lost her. She doesn't ride anymore. Still, I'm a little bit supersticious so I'll try anything that might improve the odds.

I like the positive message in the Guardian Bell tradition, but folks are now confusing it with the more solemn brass bell tradition.

A pewter bell mounted low on the frame is a Guardian bell.

A brass bell on the swing arm is a remembrance bell. It's to show respect for a fallen biker. You think about your friend and keep the memories fresh as you polish corrosion from bell to keep it bright. On the swing arm so it is constantly ringing, hopefully keeping you vigilant in avoiding your own demise.

I have one with a gargoyle on it. It is hanging from my right floorboard mount. After numerous break downs and being towed back to the dealer. I was out of town in Atlanta for the 100th Annv Kick off party. My Bike broke down again. The group of friends I was with bought my bell. I have not had any problem since.........
