Heritage Softail Classic. Started out with mine on the front part of my frame, but when I installed an oil cooler, I moved it to one of my saddle bags. So far, so good :-)

I keep mine just above the oil cooler attached to the cross member of the frame. Every time the wind is just right I hear it and it makes me smile....

Nope - Don't have one and don't plan on getting (receiving) one. Had a few close calls like most of us at one time or another, but no issues, problems worth discussing.

The cool thing is that at certain times the wife and I can actually hear them. They are all mounted low at the rear of the bike.

It’s best to put your trust in the Lord, use the brain he gave you, be careful and stay alert.

God Bless


Good advice anytime, bell or no bell.

In almost 30 years of riding motorcycles, and about 20 years of riding Harley Davidsons I have nevered bought or had a bell on any of my motorcycles. That being said, in July I bought a 2009 Street Glide. Last week I had it on the lift and found a bell under right side of the frame where the controls are attached. So yes I do have one.

I have two bells. Both grandkids got me one apiece for Christmas several years ago.
I DO NOT believe in the POWER of the bell for my safety, neither do the grandkids.
I DO believe in the POWER of GOD. I know that a prayer for our safety before a ride is way better than any stinking bell.
In my opinion the bell is just a way of someone to show you they care and are thinking of your safety.
As for me, I'll put my safety in God's hands, not a gremlin bell.
