Vintage Bell Magnum And Vintage Bell R-T Side by Side







Here are two vintage Bell helmets from the same period side by side. The silver helmet is an early Magnum. The visor is a Bell 520. The color and the visor give it that Steve McQueen look. The white helmet is an early R-T. If you look closely at the side view you will see the chin strap attachment rivets are positioned differently on each helmet. The lining on the silver helmet is of higher quality, a terrycloth type material. The shape of the shell looks the same to me. A tale of two Bells.

Vintage Bieffe Roger Burnett Replica Helmet











Bieffes are always colorful and this one is no exception. Making it that much better is that it is a signature replica model of former World Superbike racer Roger Burnett.

Simpson Bandit Motorcycle Helmet "Darth Vadar"




Here is a Simpson Bandit. These have always been liked because of the menacing look. The black Bandits have the Darth Vadar Star Wars Storm Trooper costume look to them.

Metalflake Green Arthur Fulmer AF20 Vintage Motorcycle Helmet







This is an odd color green AF20 Fulmer vintage helmet. It is a bit nicked up so it fits right in with the others. This is the first chance I have had to post a helmet in awhile, been working on my vintage motocross bikes not taking images of the old hats.

Vintage Bell Mag LTD Motorcycle Helmet




This is a vintage Bell Mag LTD Motorcycle Helmet.I had it on Ebay but the buyer had trouble with his paypal account, oh well, hang it in the garage. It is Silver Gray in color and marked size 7 1/4. The build date is 11/89. It has cool period Paulson clear comp shield which has a crack in the center. The interior cheek padding has deteriorated, which is the case with most helmets of this age. The terry cloth interior is in decent shape. The rubber trim is in great shape, as are the graphics. Nice old Bell Mag LTD helmet.

Vintage Bell R-T Motorcycle Helmet With Custom Pin Stripping

This is a Bell R-T helmet that has been customized with pin stripping and the original owners name. This is the kind of old motorcycle helmet I really like to get. The half shield/visor combo is a T&C brand. This hat is in nice shape!


A look at it with the visor up. A simple but good looking design, I am sure Bud was happy with it.
