The process of putting a guard bell on your motorcycle is relatively easy. A wire or zip tie will do the trick. Cable ties are the most durable material and you can get them in any color.
Using wire is a bad idea because it could rust or break. You should also avoid leather straps as they are not durable enough and you may lose the bell.
To place the hood, follow these steps:
1. Find the lowest part of your motorcycle and see if you can fit your protection hood. Make sure it does not protrude or interfere with the moving parts of your motorcycle, such as the wheels.
Riders often attach a bell to the peg where they place their feet.
2. Use the strap of your choice and tie the bell through its hanging loop.
3. Tie the strap around the peg. Finish by tying a double knot and making sure it is tight and sturdy. Tug on the hood a bit to make sure it is not loose.
4. Cut off the excess material from the strap. If you are using yarn, string, or some type of fabric, seal the ends of the strap by melting them.

Guardian Bell rules by belief
If you want to go into more detail about the guardian bells, you should know the rules on how to use them. Not following the rules will render your guardian bell useless.
Don’t buy your own hood
This is a strict rule. The motorcycle owner should not buy his own hood. As explained, the bell works when a fellow traveler or loved one gives a bell as a kind gesture.
Don’t hang your own bell
This may come as a surprise, but most people believe that you should never hang your own bell. The person who gave you the bell should also be the one to hang it. So if you are thinking of buying a bell for a friend, remember this rule!
Place the hood in the lowest part of the frame
This rule must be strictly followed. Placing the bell anywhere else on the frame would render the bell useless because gremlins on the road will be able to cling to the motorcycle without getting “caught” by the bell.
Don’t remove the bell
You must not remove the bell. The receiver must keep it as intended by the person who gave it to him. This will keep the charm intact.
If you want to sell your bike, you can remove the bell and transfer it to another vehicle. But you can also give it to the rider who wants to buy the bike. Make sure you remove the bell first and give it to him directly.
Don’t steal someone else’s bell
Bells are cute and small, but you shouldn’t steal them.
If you do, the bell will lose its charm. Since a bell is kindly given to another rider, stealing it would be an act of ill will. If you try to use a stolen bell, it won’t do its job.
