Help wanted with OS Bell helmets
« on: March 09, 2006, 07:22 AM »
Trying to find a white or blue Bell open face helmet, the type that DMC, Wilkerson, etc wore BITD.

If anyone knows the particular model(s) worn by the pros please post. Would consider an Echo or Premier helmet if a Bell one can't be found.

Apart from eBay if anyone knows another source please let me know.

Cheers

The open face Bell helmets used bitd were Bell Magnum and Bell Magnum II

This is what the helmet looks like.



Easiest place to pick one up is USA Ebay.

Another Bell open face from bitd was the RT , earlier than the Magnum.

Here's one I prepared earlier  :daumenhoch:

Thanks a lot for the posts fellas, big help as always.

I saw Billy S wearing a Bell Magnum on BMX Beat so I will try to track one down. I also interested the name/model of the Bell open face helmet worn in the late 80's as pictured.

I have found a Mag 4 for sale in the US but it looks like a newer model as it doesn't seem to have button for fixing a mouth guard.

Cheers

Stevo ,

The top 2 of your pics are'nt Mag 4's , only the bottom one .  The top 2 are a less expensive model using the Mag/Moto 4 peak . If I remember correctly the Mag 4's never had studs for a mouthguard , they were retro fitted by the owner. This was a similar predicament with the JT ALS1 (I had one) which had no studs for a mouthguard .
