Thread,
BMW did a great job tucking everything in the body and under the plastics. I recently was gifted a Guardian Bell and I’m struggling to find a place to put it. Any recommendations???

I have a 2020 1250 RS and was also gifted one by a life long special friend. I have the engine spoilers on mine so how about here?

I drilled a small hole in the bracket (it's plastic on my RS) and then just threaded the split ring through it. Could have done the same if it was metal but I would have painted the inside edge of the hole to help prevent rust.

Take the bell and put it in your toolbox. It'll do you as much good there as anywhere else.
