Default Retro Helmets

Hey guys, for anyone looking for a retro helmet besides a Bitwell, check out Bell, they have some retro 3/4 and 1/2.

Personally I might get the Custom 500 Speed Soul...I think that looks pretty sick!

Here's my Bell 500 Custom....





They're very nicely made helmets and super comfortable.

My Bell Custom 500 "Speed Soul" just arrived today. You're right, it's really sick! Looks to be well-made, and the paint is first rate.

Yea I'm curious how they fit as well...I'm still debating on 1/2 or 3/4. I ride with a 1/2 right now, but on the highway I wear ear plugs because of the wind (just annoying really)....I'm assuming the 3/4 will block all the wind in the ears, but curious how the visibility/weight and looks compare to a 1/2.

I have had the speed soul helmet for about 3 months now its a great helmet. Super light and comfortable. felt a little loose at first but kinda molded to my head after a few rides. It does seem to fit different on different head shapes haha. i let a freind borrow it at the drag strip and it looked funny as all hell on him.

Okay, here it is. Just remember a couple of things:
First, my kids are terrible with cameras, so the pictures suck;
Second, I'm fugly, so ignore the face;
and finally, you asked for it...
