That looks pretty cool to me. I just did the double zip-tie thing at the base of the highway bars, but if I ever need to replace it, this looks good.

Mine has been hanging by the same zip tie for five years and still going strong.

Piper, the ride bell is suppose to ward off road gremlins that give you bad luck and can cause you to have problems with your bike or worse yet an accident. You are not suppose to buy your own, it only works if you receive it as a gift from someone special in your life. Just a superstition, but I hung the one that was given to me and so far so good. Knock on Wood!!!!

It attracts the gremlins and drops them off when the bell rings, like over bumps. If you have one in a drawer somewhere guess where the gremlins are accumulating?

As stated earlier, 1 1/2 in key ring, put through the hole where the bolt goes for the right floorboard brace to the frame. Been there for over 25,000 miles. I'm not about to tempt fate and change it.

Mine is still hanging from the bottom of the crash bar on the piece of leather that came with it. I check it every now and then, doesn't seem to be goin anywhere.

I couldn't get the site to come up before I posted, but now that I've seen it, I do like it. Probably stick with my leather for now though.
