Product Information
Full details
The Bell Custom 500 Jet Helmet is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts who prioritize vintage aesthetics without sacrificing modern safety standards. This 3/4 style helmet offers a slim, low-profile fit thanks to its five-shell sizing system, providing a refined look on the road. While it excels in style and comfort, users should be aware that as an open-face helmet, it does not provide the same level of facial protection as a full-face alternative.

FAQs
Does this helmet come with a visor?
The Bell Custom 500 comes with integrated snaps but does not include a visor, allowing you to choose the specific style of shield or peak that fits your needs.
Is the interior liner removable?
The interior is a fixed, quilted fabric design intended to maintain the vintage aesthetic of the helmet.
What is the purpose of the 5-snap pattern?
The snaps are designed to accommodate a wide variety of aftermarket accessories like bubble shields, flat shields, or sun peaks.
Is this helmet safe for highway riding?
While the helmet meets safety standards, please note that it is an open-face design and does not provide face or chin protection.
How do I ensure a low-profile fit?
The helmet is built with five shell sizes, so choosing the correct size according to your head measurement is the key to achieving a low-profile look.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbly
Ensure the D-ring strap is tightened firmly against the chin and verify that the helmet size matches your measured head circumference.
Visor snaps do not align
Ensure the shield is centered on the middle stud before attempting to press the side snaps into place.
Pros and Cons

- Extremely lightweight construction
- High-quality interior finishes
- Versatile with 5-snap visor compatibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Bell Custom 500 fits correctly, measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and refer to the brand's sizing chart. For the 5-snap system, align your chosen shield with the center stud first, then work outward to the sides to ensure a flush fit. Clean the exterior shell with mild soap and water and a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could damage the finish. The interior fabric should be spot-cleaned; do not submerge or use abrasive detergents on the quilted lining to maintain its premium texture.
