Anyone know where I can get those old-style bell open face helmets? The metal flake fish bowls of the 70's, I'm pretty sure they have been reproduced
 
Good match with your new old bike!
 
You mean something like this?

Royal does have them. They're called the Bell Custom 500. I bought 2, 1 was from Royal. Several companies make that shape now but the Bell one is decent.
 
Look at Bell's page to see what graphics are 2014. Older ones will need to be old stock or a different company.
 
biltwell, licks or any of those chopper sites will sell them.

The problem with repros is that they're way too thick in order to meet modern safety standards. Everyone ends up looking like the Great Gazoo.

Licks and bell make some more sane ones.

I had the biltwell hustler. Great Gazoo indeed. (used the same description myself)
 
Biltwell Gringo, available from Town Moto.

I have a Black Bell like that - you are wlecome to it if it fits....mmmm might have taken it to Australia.
I did like wearing it - felt so small and light compared to the Bell Mag8
Love the dark tint mini visor too....perfect when the sun is low -


Remember fighting with those damn push on fasteners
