I'm not superstitious, just a little stitious. I ain't scared to run a bell.

But the readers here should take note, don't hang anything in that location.
I have seen many a dent from toolbags in that some spot. And it seems like such a good location!

 

LOL, been lucky & never actually hit one!

 

My friend's Heritage Springer has a "Bell" dent in the same place as yours. He tossed the bell in the trash after a few choice words.
I bought him the bell years ago and it was on his Dyna for years in the same place and it never touched the fender. He put it on his new Heritage and dented his fender the first week.

 

I thought the bell was supposed to stay with the bike... even if you sell it.

 

I pointed out a fender dent on some guys streetglide at Outer banks bike week. Told him where the bell is supposed to go ... he got all pissy about it.
Dude should have got a chrome bell if that's where he wanted to hang it.

 

That's a bummer, but hopefully someone here will read your post and avoid making the same mistake. Thanks for sharing.

 

How big of a Bell was it to leave a "fist sized" dent?
