I am getting the Speed Soul Custom 500 it was between the one you are showing and the speed soul. In my opinion all the Bell Custom 500 3/4 helmets look great.

Default I dig the speed soul to but...
I like the speed soul to, its how I found this one. A guy was wearing the speed soul and he told me where to get it but since then ive seen probably 6 -7 of the speed soul and none of these. thought the 48's looks might go well with an old school lid. and to the "Honest?" posts yeah I got tough skin, if ya think its fugly tell me

It kind of has that Evel Knievel look to it with the stars and all. One of those "if you like it, buy it and wear it" type of things. The stars I could personally live with, the rest of it looks a bit like an afterthought.

for a 3/4 helmet, I like it, I think the model with the 5 on it is a bit better looking though, but it has a killer old school look
