Product Information
Full details
The Bell Custom 500 Cafe Racer Jet Helmet is designed for riders who value a classic aesthetic combined with modern safety standards, making it an ideal choice for cafe racer enthusiasts and vintage motorcycle riders. It delivers a lightweight, low-profile oval silhouette that honors the original 1954 design while providing reliable head protection; however, users should note that as an open-face helmet, it does not provide the same level of lower-face or wind protection as a full-face alternative.

FAQs
Is this helmet compatible with aftermarket visors?
Yes, the integrated five-snap pattern is designed to fit most standard 5-snap visors and bubble shields.
Can I install a Bluetooth communication system?
While the helmet does not have dedicated cutouts for speakers, many slim-profile universal Bluetooth communication systems can be attached to the interior or exterior edges.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your head at the widest point, usually about one inch above your eyebrows, and compare it to the specific size chart provided by Bell.
Is the inner liner removable?
Please check your specific production batch details, though most modern Custom 500 models feature a comfort liner that is meant to be spot-cleaned.
Does this helmet come with a visor included?
The base helmet usually includes the shell; aftermarket shields or visors are generally sold separately.
Is the grey color finish matte or glossy?
The finish is designed to match the classic aesthetic of the original; check the specific product label for confirmation of the finish type.
Troubleshooting
Accessory snaps feel loose
Ensure the accessory is properly aligned with all five snaps and verify the snap buttons on the helmet are free of debris or grit.
Helmet feels unstable at speed
Verify that you have selected the correct head size and that the chin strap is tightened securely to the appropriate tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and consult the Bell sizing chart before purchase. To attach accessories, align your visor or shield with the five snaps located on the brow of the helmet and press firmly until each snap clicks into place. For care, keep the exterior shell clean by using a mild soap and water solution with a microfiber cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could damage the finish. The interior liner should be kept clean by using helmet-specific upholstery cleaner, and you should always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
