So I don't insult those who have or will purchase a similar helmet, I'll just say, "It's not for me."

Looks almost as good as the fulmers, but that "in your face" Bell logo in front has gotta go. Does it come off? Or is it clearcoated over?

Was thinking about one of these, can't make up my mind though..

Yeah, the stickers come off, I took all mine off.

Thats pretty cool that it flips up. I am looking to get the one that attaches directly to the helmet, they look crazy. LOL. Like these:

Must get Bell 500!

I have a half helmet now and it just sits too high and mushroomish.

Now to convince the fiancee she needs one too. :lol:

Same classic look. $89 for matte black and $99 for the colors. Free shipping and no tax. If I didn't just recently buy a new raincoat, riding shoes (Vans Hi-tops - boots are for suckers), & go on a long trip....as well as talk to Joe about powder coating my wheels.....I'd have already ordered the Silver Flake one. Maybe later.

The Bells look great too.

Riiiiight.

dumbass.

Hrmmm..."dumbass".

I guess I had that coming since I called boot users "suckers". Oh well, to each his own.

I'm loving the retro 3/4 style lids........ I got a Biltwell and hardly wear anthing else anymore. Has the open face for the wind, a cool look but cuts the wind noise considerably. Best of all worlds IMO. Now if I could get a DOT approved one that didn't make me look like the Great Gazoo it'd be great........ this Bell 500 looks like it might do the trick but I'd like to see a side by side of someone wearing both (Biltwell and the Bell)
