Bell Custom 500 Cobra Helmet

If you are channeling your inner superhero, chances are the Bell 500 Cobra will be your choice from among the Bell Custom 500 Helmets. Stylish red and white stripes overlaid with a blue and white lightening type pattern and stars is definitely something Captain America would pick. Roy Richter's design is the perfect foil for this custom paint-inspired graphic. And while the helmet does not come with superpowers it does come with modern protective technology that was not available to Richter in 1954. By combining a custom fiberglass layup with a specially designed EPS foam layer, Bell engineers were able to craft a helmet that is at once light weight, narrow in profile, and DOT-compliant providing performance that works just as well as this helmet looks.


Features

  • Custom fiberglass shell
  • Custom-quilted liner
  • Chrome trim (graphic dependent)
  • Integrated snaps for aftermarket shields and visors
  • Padded chin strap with D-ring closure and strap keeper
  • Five-year warranty
  • Certification: DOT
  • Weight: 880g

I ride a 1978 CB750. Not only does this helmet fit the vintage cafe racer style that I'm going for; its incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend this helmet to anyone who is looking for safety, style and comfortability. BUY it NOW! I promise you won't regret it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I found mostly what I was expecting when I received this helmet. The only thing I am torn on is the stitching in the liner. It has a diamond pattern and looks very cool but leaves the same diamond pattern on my forehead after removal. Even a 10 minute ride leaves this pattern across my head for 20 minutes plus. A remedy of this is to wear a doo rag, something I wear sometimes anyway. I wear a full face on my Kawasaki Versys but whip out the retro when I ride my second bike!

Only reason I marked anything down is before its a 3/4 helmet... Its gonna b louder, less protective, and less feature rich than a full faced... I Own 4 Bell's, I love that they are made in the US. I've worn this helmet on my cruisers (1999 Victory 92C, 2012 Sportster 1200 Custom, 2006 Road King# and it really lets you take in the experience of the ride. I've worn my revolver and RS-1 on the same bikes and its just not the same experience as wind in your face... I wear it mostly with Aviator style sun glasses and a bandana to cover my face from bugs and debris #No windshields on my bikes) but I have also worn bomber style goggles over the back when it rained and it work just fine... My only 3 issues are if you want to listen to music you got to use ear candy or some other very low profit ear bud as there is no room for speakers or any other options, and I've had drop down visors in the past and they are very handy but in this case it would jack up the price and ultimately this helmet is about style and throw back and vintage, lastly the interior is what it is I have a Nolan 3/4 that the inside is much more plush soft and comfortable the liner is sweet looking but a little stiff as far as comfort... My head is slightly rounder than intermidiate oval and for me to fit in this I needed to go all the way up to a XXL where are I was able to fit in a Bell Star Large after it was broken in and that has been my best fitting helmet I've ever had. I got my stunt graphic on close out from revzilla and it was $75 to my door and you just can't beat that. I road race locally and get a lot of gear at near cost from a local dealership that supports me and even they couldn't get that low for me... Shipped as expected, packed well, not issues whats so ever from the buying process, not chips or scratches... Maybe have a more discret box cause my fiance saw the box in the garage with Revzilla on the side and after that was all said and done I needed to take her out for dinner... Would for sure do business with Rezvilla again, bought from SBTG, and MCSS before and had some issues with the later and quite honestly Revzilla videos are better than SBTG cause Brian spends half the product video talking about why you should buy from them cause they ride and you should only buy from people that ride... A guy isn't gonna own a motorcycle store if he doesn't ride... thats like a tattoo artist without any tattoos... I didn't get team zilla cash cause my purchase was too small which is totally fine but I can speak on how that worked, free shipping was awesome... I've run out of things to say...
Yes, I recommend this product.
