Default The Bell 500 Custom review

I got this from eBay and it got to my house on Sat. Very cool, I didn't know if I would have it for the weekend. I went out for a 80 mile cruise, and did about 40 of them on the highway to see if it blocked the wind noise. Man it felt great, light, small, and quiet. And it fit perfect. Not at all mushroomy.
I was going faster than I thought because it was so quiet, looked down and was doing 80. All in all I'm very pleased with the quality and comfort. Great buy for 119.00. If you can find one get one.

I picked one up in gloss black at my local HD dealer the other day...I wanted a 3/4 helmet with a removable shield for bad weather riding and this fit the bill perfectly...Looks like its really well made and dosent give me the Kazoo look.....My clubs goin on a 150 mile ride this weekend to Pa so im looking foward to seeing how it blocks the wind noise and keeps my ears toasty

Ive got 5 Custom 500's! Leatherup.com and J&P cycles are great places to get them! I had a friend pin stripe 3 of them. the other 2 are painted by Skratch Garage.

Has anyone found a 3 snap shield that will stay on at 75mph? The only thing that doesn't come loose on mine is a visor, have to use goggles if I'm going to hit any hiways (almost always). I'd say they're the most comfortable 3/4 I've had, but sure wish they had 5 snaps for the more secure shields.
