Anyone got a Bell 500 custom helmet? Would like to see them. Thinking about getting one.

You would probably get more of a response posting in the General Section seeing how this has nothing to do with a Sportster

Cpracing what you call all those helmets biker art or redneck art. I think all those helmets look bad ***. I don't think my wife would agree!

Can't have enough metal flake helmets. Nice to have a different helmet to wear every day! Love the Bell Custom 500's! Might get a couple Biltwells next year also. I need to get another cabinet soon so I can display my next helmets. Oh and by the way, they run a little big so buy the next size smaller. I usually wear a medium but the Bell's I run smalls.

I have the Hurricane helmet, and love the metal flake too. The new 500's are going to sit lower so I'll be looking at purchasing another real soon.

I have a Bell 500, fits perfect, comfortable, wish I hadn't got it. Only 3 snaps, can't turn my head at speed on my naked sporty if I want to keep a face shield on. The latest ones have 5 snaps, should be fine, but I wouldn't get a 3 snap of any brand if you want to keep a face shield on and look around. They're sure more comfortable than a ff in warm weather, but that losing face shields pretty much has me ff all the time now. Before I needed glasses, wore goggles a lot, but they don't work well for me wearing glasses, ones I've tried anyway. Might just be my problem for some reason, haven't heard of anyone else having the same experience.
