Bell vortex lids????
Bell vortex lids????
ok so im picking up a new to me dyna next mont hand needed new lids so i got online and looked through some of the differnt ones available. i have always been a novelty beanie type guy, but decided to go on the FF side for the season. anyway i dont want to be spending $$$ but also dont want a cheap POS, anyway i decided the price and looks of the vortex fits my budget and style requirments just right so i ordered two of them (one for me and one for any passengers i might have)
so for those of you using the vortex what do you think of them? any thing i need to look out for in them ?
as for the whole FF dont belong on a harley crowd i dont really care what others think belongs on a harley i am just looking for input and feedback on the bell vortex.

Looks like a nice Helmet.
Dont really know anything about it. My previous helmets all seemed to whistle and this drove me nuts. I finally spent the coin on a SHOEI RF1000 and that helmet is great. Hope yours don't whistle ?
I ride with a FF and really don't care what people think. I still have a couple Half Helmets and I prefer the FF. I tried doing the Half Helmet thing for a few years and got tired of it Hated the wind, noise, bugs rocks etc.etc. Ride what you like. The only time I use my Half Helmet is when I'm going local to get some stamps are something.

Looks great to me - I presently have an "older" style Shorty that looks like a cop helmet
It has held up very well to the abuse I have given it....
I'd def do another Bell - seem to be a good helmet for the $$

Hey Coyote. I've got a Vortex and it seems to be a good helmet. Ventilation is fair, the shield works well with 3 different positions, fully closed, cracked open and full open. The shield has not scratched or gotten hazy in the year I've owned it and I have to clean the bugs off after most every ride. It fits my head well, snug but not overly tight. My only complaint is it has a poor paint job. I've never dropped it or abused it in any way and yet there are small spots of a yellow base coat or primer that is showing through in a growing number of places after less than 6 months of wear.

I tried one on in Myrtle Beach Saturday. I am not a FF guy, but I was impressed. The modular was really nice. However, I bought the Pit Boss as it is only 2 lbs and very comfy.
