Product Information
Full details
The Bell Custom 500 Crate Jet Helmet is designed for adult riders who value vintage aesthetics and premium craftsmanship, specifically catering to cafe racer and heritage-style motorcycle enthusiasts. This helmet provides the core benefit of a high-quality, lightweight fiberglass composite shell that blends 1950s-inspired design with modern safety standards, though riders should note that as an open-face helmet, it offers less facial protection compared to full-face alternatives.

Troubleshooting
Accessory snaps feel too tight or won't click

Interior leather feels stiff after long storage
Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner to a soft cloth and gently buff the interior to restore suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper fit, measure your head circumference and compare it against the Bell sizing chart; the helmet should sit snug without creating uncomfortable pressure points. The five-snap system is compatible with most aftermarket universal 5-snap visors and shields. For care, clean the fiberglass shell using only mild soap and water to avoid damaging the finish. The genuine leather interior should be wiped down periodically with a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner to maintain its softness and prevent drying. Avoid exposing the leather interior to excessive moisture or leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve the quilting and stitching integrity.
