Have had my Bell 500 for two weeks now. Best fitting helmet I have ever had. No movement at high speeds. I got the silver metalflake. Also have a Bell Vortex ( full face ) just arrived.

Just got my custom 500. Has anyone taken sandpaper to theirs to get rid of some of the gloss? Any pictures?

Im in the process of trying to decide which size bell custom 500 stunt to go with. But I'm torn as to what size, because im right in the middle of the med and large with a measurment of 22 7/8. What has been the concensous in the past.

Thanks

I was smack in the middle too, so I went with a medium. A bit tight for the first week, but now I don't even notice it.

you guys talked me into it. I ordered a speed soul and should be here tomorrow. I hope it fits, I ordered a xxl because I have a long head not round. The best fitting half helmet I found was the vega xts. I hope the 500 fits as well.

Just received my matt black today along with a tinted flip up visor. Still waiting for my red flake Rockhard American Classic to arrive. I will shoot some comparison pics when it comes.
I am very happy with the fit and look of the Bell Custom 500 - seems like a quality lid.

I'm at the large side of the medium with 22 3/4. I ordered both the matte black and stunt in size large. I noticed they fit differently. The black is just a blond c hair loose, and the stunt fits perfectly.

I've had mine for a while now and it fits really nice now. The stitching in the diamond tuft interior is already coming unraveled in a few places and I dropped it and scarred it up some but other than that I really like it. I stopped wearing my beanie because this Bell fits so well. heh that rhymed.
