Product Information
Full details
The Bell Custom 500 Jet Helmet is designed for adult riders who prioritize timeless aesthetics and a low-profile silhouette without sacrificing modern safety standards. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a classic 1954-inspired design and advanced protective materials like a fiberglass composite shell, though users should be aware that the 3/4 design leaves the face exposed compared to full-face alternatives.

FAQs
Is the Bell Custom 500 ECE certified?
Yes, this helmet is certified to ECE 22.06 safety standards.
Does it come with a visor?
No, the helmet features a five-snap system, but visors and shields are sold separately.
Can I replace the interior padding?
The interior is crafted with a fixed, premium leather lining; it is not designed to be swapped out.
How does the D-ring chin strap work?
The D-ring system requires looping the strap through both rings and back through the first, ensuring a tight, secure fit every time you buckle up.
Is this helmet suitable for high-speed highway riding?
While it meets safety certifications, the open-face design provides less wind protection than a full-face helmet. Many riders opt for a bubble shield at highway speeds.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels tight around the temples
Ensure you have selected the correct shell size based on your measured head circumference; the oval fit may require a break-in period for the padding.
Shield is rattling or loose
Check that all five snap points are securely pressed into the helmet receptacles.
Interior leather feels damp or odors develop
Allow the helmet to air dry thoroughly in a shaded, well-ventilated area after every ride, and clean with a mild leather-safe cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a proper fit, measure the circumference of your head and consult the Bell sizing chart before purchase. To care for the genuine leather interior, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt and a leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the antibacterial treatment and the leather finish. When attaching shields or visors, ensure all five snaps are fully engaged to prevent rattling. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the protective materials over time.
