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 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.
