Product Information
Full details
The Bell Custom 500 Jet Helmet is designed for motorcycle riders who value classic 1954-inspired aesthetics paired with modern safety standards. This 3/4 helmet provides a lightweight, low-profile fit through its fiberglass composite shell and multi-density EPS liner, making it an excellent choice for cruiser and vintage bike enthusiasts. While it offers superior comfort with its quilted leather interior, users should note that the open-face design lacks the full-face coverage found in sport-oriented helmets.

FAQs
Is the Bell Custom 500 ECE 22.06 certified?
Yes, this helmet meets the latest ECE 22.06 safety certification standards.
Does this helmet come with a visor?
No, the helmet features an integrated 5-snap pattern, but shields and visors are sold separately.
Can I remove the interior lining for cleaning?
The interior is crafted from genuine leather; we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and leather-safe products.
How do I choose the correct shell size?
The Custom 500 uses five distinct shell sizes to provide a low-profile fit. Always measure your head circumference and consult the Bell sizing chart before purchasing.
What is the benefit of the D-ring closure?
The D-ring closure is a proven, reliable system that allows for a precise, micro-adjustable fit every time you wear the helmet.
Troubleshooting
Visor or shield keeps unsnapping
Ensure all five snaps are firmly pressed until you hear a distinct click. If the issue persists, check if the snap buttons on the helmet have accumulated debris.
Helmet feels loose over time
Leather interiors can break in and compress slightly. Ensure you are securing the D-ring strap correctly according to the manual to maintain a tight fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Certified to modern ECE 22.06 safety standards
- Extremely lightweight at approximately 982 grams (size M)
- Iconic, authentic vintage silhouette
- Premium genuine leather interior materials
Cons
- Open-face design offers no chin or face protection
- Susceptible to wind noise at high speeds
- Requires separate purchase of shields or visors for full coverage
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the helmet feels snug against your cheeks without causing pressure points. The D-ring strap should be tightened until it holds the helmet firmly in place during movement.
- Compatibility: The 5-snap configuration is compatible with most universal 3-snap visors and bubble shields. Verify the snap alignment before installing aftermarket accessories.
- Care Instructions: Clean the outer shell with mild soap and water. The genuine leather interior should be wiped down with a leather conditioner periodically. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the antibacterial treatment on the lining.
