Product Information
Full details
The Bell Custom 500 Crate Jet Helmet is designed for motorcycle riders who value authentic vintage style combined with modern safety standards. Ideal for cafe racer enthusiasts and daily city commuters, this helmet offers a lightweight, low-profile fit that avoids the bulky look of many contemporary lids. While it provides excellent protection and a premium aesthetic, its open-face design lacks the full-face coverage and wind protection required for high-speed highway touring or adverse weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this helmet DOT approved?
Yes, the Bell Custom 500 Crate is built to meet modern safety standards, including DOT certification.
Can I wear glasses with this helmet?
Yes, the open-face design is generally very accommodating for most styles of prescription glasses and sunglasses.
Does it come with a visor included?
The base helmet typically comes without a visor, allowing you to choose the specific style of snap-on accessory that suits your needs.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and refer to the Bell sizing chart to select the correct fit.
Can I remove the interior liner for washing?
The quilted leather liner is integrated into the shell; spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the recommended maintenance method.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbles during movement
Ensure the chin strap is tightened properly; if the issue persists, the shell size may be too large for your head shape.
Visor snaps do not click into place
Ensure the visor pins are aligned correctly with the snaps; apply firm, even pressure directly over each snap point.
Interior leather feels stiff
Use a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner on a soft cloth to gently soften and maintain the lining material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and comfortable for daily wear
- Classic aesthetic matches vintage and custom bike builds
- High-quality interior materials feel premium and durable
- Easy to customize with a wide range of snap-on visors
Cons
- Open-face design offers no chin or facial protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the helmet sits snugly on your head without creating pressure points. The D-ring strap should be tightened until it is secure against your throat, ensuring no excessive slack exists. Compatibility is straightforward due to the standard five-snap configuration on the brow, which fits most aftermarket shields. To maintain the leather interior, wipe it down periodically with a clean, damp cloth and leather conditioner to prevent drying. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the finish and the integrity of the internal lining.
