Let me start by saying this isn't just any ordinary bike bell - the Bravo Bells Indian Skull Bell is a work of art with serious protective mojo. I've had mine hanging from my Harley for about six months now, and it's become one of my favorite accessories.

The craftsmanship immediately impressed me when I unboxed it. Unlike cheap novelty items, this has substantial weight (about 3oz) thanks to quality lead-free pewter construction. The intricate skull detailing looks even better in person than in photos - you can see every tooth and contour clearly.

In terms of functionality, the bell produces a crisp, clear ring that's audible at highway speeds. I followed the tradition and hung mine low on the front fork where it catches the wind perfectly. Whether you believe in the gremlin-repelling legend or not, there's something comforting about hearing that little chime as you ride.

Durability has been excellent through all weather conditions - no tarnishing or fading despite exposure to rain and road grime. The included velvet bag and legend card make it gift-ready (I've since bought two as presents that were hugely appreciated).

The only minor drawback? At about 2 inches diameter, it's slightly larger than standard gremlin bells - which looks awesome but required slight adjustment to my setup. Also worth noting: like another reviewer mentioned, if you hit something hard enough (say, a raccoon), the bell might sacrifice itself for your bike!

Final verdict? Whether you're buying for yourself or as a meaningful biker gift, this bell delivers on quality, style, and that special motorcycle mystique. After 5,000+ miles together, I'm convinced my Bravo Bell has earned its keep - both as good luck charm and conversation starter at every bike night.
