Default Bell Mag 9 Sena....anyone use this helmet?

I am looking at them and a few others. Not happy with my 1/2 shroom head one I got from the HD shop. Thanks.

I don't know about that model but a Bell Mag 4 saved my life when i went head first into a 79 Ford Bronco at 65 mph. I caved the window post in 2 inches with my Bell Mag 4 helmet

I've used it for last 3 months and love it. Fantastic for the price, especially if you plan on using the sena unit(I do.)

You got that right. I had a whole church full of people praying for me, cause it happened on a Wednesday evening before prayer meeting.

I've had one for 3 years. Use it for my daily commute. Removed the visor day one. SENA has worked flawlessly. I wish the internal sun visor was a little darker. Helmet has held up well to summer heat including a trip to Sturgis in 2015.

That's the helmet I use. I've been using it for the past 3+ years, fits me well, good quality, and the drop down sun glasses are nice- my one hour commute heads straight east at sunrise. Has speaker pockets, and the HD headset fits on there nicely.

I do not have that specific model but many other Bells. They are a great value for the money.

The Bell co makes the helmets for the Air Force and NASA.

This.....have mine for a couple of years...including a trip to Nova Scotia.

Saying that, the most important factor is how the helmet fits.....and honestly, walking around a store for 5 min won't really tell you.....got to be worn for an hour or so, then look for pressure points.
