FAQs

Are these intakes universal for all Bell helmets?

No, these intakes are specifically designed for the Bell HP7, HP77, RS7, HP5, GT5 Touring, GT5 Sport, and KC7 helmet models. Please check compatibility before purchasing.

Can I remove these intakes after applying them?

The intakes use aggressive double-sided adhesive for a permanent bond. While removal is possible, it may damage the helmet's finish and require specialized tools or solvents.

Do these intakes come pre-painted?

These specific intakes are clear plastic. They are available in clear or carbon finishes and can be painted by the user to match their helmet's design.

How do I clean the clear plastic intakes?

Clean them with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher grime, followed by rinsing and drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Will these intakes affect the helmet's safety certification?

These accessories are designed to integrate with the helmet's ventilation system and should not affect safety certifications when installed correctly on compatible models. Always refer to the helmet manufacturer's guidelines.

What is the main benefit of installing these intakes?

The primary benefit is enhanced ventilation to the sides of the head, which helps to improve comfort by reducing heat buildup during intense use.

Troubleshooting

Air intake does not adhere properly.

Ensure the helmet surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Re-clean the area with isopropyl alcohol and reapply the intake, pressing firmly for the recommended time. Consider using an automotive-grade double-sided adhesive tape for a stronger bond if issues persist.

Reduced airflow noticeable.

Check that the intake vents are not obstructed by dirt or debris. Ensure the intake is correctly positioned and sealed against the helmet to prevent air leaks. Verify that the helmet's internal ventilation channels are clear.

Plastic appears cloudy or scratched.

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive materials. For minor scratches, a plastic polish designed for automotive use might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These side air intakes are designed for the following Bell helmet models: HP7, HP77, RS7, HP5, GT5 Touring, GT5 Sport, and KC7. Ensure your helmet model is listed before attempting installation.

Setup:

  1. Clean the Helmet Surface: Thoroughly clean the area on the side of the helmet where the intakes will be applied. Use a degreaser or isopropyl alcohol to ensure the surface is free from dust, oil, and wax for optimal adhesion.
  2. Position the Intake: Carefully align the air intake with the desired location on the helmet, ensuring it sits flush against the shell.
  3. Apply Adhesive: Remove the protective backing from the pre-applied double-sided adhesive.
  4. Press Firmly: Press the air intake firmly onto the helmet surface and hold for a minimum of 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before using the helmet.

Care: Clean the intakes with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the plastic. For any stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
