The Bell label is retro cool! I believe Bell offered the first full-face and fiberglass helmet. They are once again American made!

I own a gold flake DOT Fulmer V2 Bobber and I like it a lot. I may get a Biltwell for Bike Night cool, though I wouldn't do any serious rides with it.

u better hurry up and order. this is limited edition of 1500 units!!
I ordered the Custom 500 "Stunt" today. Love that thing! It reminds me of an old go-kart helmet I had as a kid.

I was wondering, is it 1500 of each style or 300 of each of the 5 styles???

Those look pretty cool. I almost considered looking into some Snowboarding goggles. I like the ones with enough elastic band to go over the helmet.

My experience with goggles have been very unhappy with very cool looks and very limited range of vision .

It's not that I hate it or anything, I would just prefer it was in back. I'll live with it.

Yep, and a little problem with too much pressure from the elastic band. I haven't gotten mine comfortable yet.

Does anyone have any other feedback on this Bell Custom 500. I am thinking of getting one. Are they actually smaller?
