Default Another potentially stupid question...

Has anybody found a good place to hang a Guardian Bell on the RTs? I was thinking of drilling a hole in one of the upper a-arm covers, but there's got to be a better place tnan that... Any suggestions??

There aren't any stupid questions, just stupid answers...
Anyway, I don't have a bell (yet) but seem to remember that they're supposed to be as close to the road as possible. Maybe just a zip tie on the lower a-arm would be a spot to think about.

Rod.

Thanks Rod!
I'll just have to remember to leave enough room around it for those cool LEDs that get mounted down there too!

(Once I can convince the Missus that they're a safety item.. More light up front! )

Women... She walks around the Spyder only ONCE... and says to put an eyebolt through one of the holes in the license plate... Now I've got to live with her and all of her newfound mechanical "horse sense".

I put mine on the lower a-arm with a zip tie, works great & doesn't move around.
