Gremlin Bell for Motorcycles Knuckles Guardian Bell Biker Gift

The Knuckles Gremlin Bell is a solid steel guardian bell made to hang on your motorcycle and keep the road gremlins off your ride. The bell is cast with a bold brass knuckles emblem and comes with a matching steel chain, so you can hang it low on your frame or wear it as a biker necklace between rides.

Why Bikers Hang a Gremlin Bell on Their Motorcycle

Riders have trusted the gremlin bell legend for generations. The story goes that evil road spirits, the little gremlins blamed for flat tires, dead batteries and loose bolts, get trapped inside the hollow of the bell. The constant ringing drives them mad until they lose their grip and fall back onto the road. That is why you will see a small bell, also called a guardian bell, spirit bell or ride bell, hanging from the frame of so many motorcycles across America.

Tradition says a gremlin bell is twice as powerful when it is received as a gift. That makes this knuckles bell one of the most meaningful gifts for bikers, whether it is for a new rider taking their first trip or a veteran with decades in the saddle.
