I really like those graphics on the "speed soul" but with my flat black bike thought it might look a little funny. Plus the flat black was 40 bucks cheaper and my guy will stripe it for 30 so I get more of a matching set for 10 bucks less!!
should be here on Tuesday and when he gets it done I'll post some pics

 

you did an excellent job of painting your helmet!!

so is the bell custom 500 not dot??? i thought it was?

 

Yeah the Bell is DOT, according to Motorcycle-superstore anyways..

 

So somebody tell me... Do they run small??? If you wear a Harley large would you order a XL Bell 500? I have a Biltwell but I wanna get me and the wife some DOT ones also.

 

I read a ton of reviews on them and that seemed to be the theme.. Not sure that they ran a full size small, but a lot said if you were kind of "in between" sizes go up a size and a few actually said they bought a full size bigger than normal and it fit great.
For me, a medium is usually snug and a L is usually big, so I went with the large.. Will be able to tell you more once it shows up.

 

Not sure how the Bell 500s compare to Harley helmets size-wise. Other Bell 3/4 helmets are almost identical sizing to the 500. I went to my local metric dealer and tried on some Bell 3/4s before ordering.

 

The Bell 500 fit on my noggin funny. I like the looks a lot...but it just didn't work for me.

 

Cool, looking forward to seeing it.

 

I'm pretty sure that my dad has a old 3/4 helmet somewhere in his garage from the 70's. I'll have to have he look around and have him ship it to me.

 

Thanks TCannon... I'm interested in hearing it first hand... Let us know. Congrats on the new lid...

Razor... Vintage is cool... When you get it redo the inside for some added style I'm gonna try this gal when I pick up a old metal flake one...
