Full details
The Bell Custom 500 Jet Helmet is designed for motorcycle riders who value timeless aesthetic combined with modern safety standards. Offering a perfect blend of a low-profile silhouette and high-quality fiberglass protection, this 3/4 helmet is ideal for cruiser and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts. While its open-face design provides excellent visibility and a classic feel, riders should note that it offers less wind and debris protection compared to full-face alternatives.

FAQs
Is this helmet ECE certified?
Yes, the Bell Custom 500 is ECE 22.06 certified.
Does it come with a visor?
No, the helmet includes an integrated 5-snap pattern, but visors or shields must be purchased separately.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and compare it to the Bell sizing chart; because this helmet uses five specific shell sizes, you get a much more accurate fit.
Is the interior lining removable?
Yes, the interior features a comfortable, removable, and washable antibacterial liner.
How much does the helmet weigh?
The Bell Custom 500 weighs approximately 982 grams, making it quite lightweight for all-day comfort.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbly
Ensure the D-ring strap is pulled tight. If the fit remains loose, you may need a different shell size or thicker cheek pads.
Snap-on visor is vibrating or rattling
Check that all five snaps are fully engaged and pressed firmly into the helmet receivers.
Liner feels uncomfortable after long rides
Ensure your hair is pulled back and the liner is properly seated. If odor develops, hand-wash the removable liner using an antibacterial-safe detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to clean the exterior shell.
- Remove the interior liner if needed to hand-wash with gentle detergent.
- Keep the helmet away from harsh chemicals or solvents which can degrade the integrity of the shell.
