I'm looking to get into Bell helmets. I'm pretty much all set up but they want a min order to start with. Just thought I'd see if anyone was interested in a helmet at my cost?

The Auto tinting shields seem pretty cool!

Konarider94, I have this Star and absolutely love the thing. The only and I mean only thing I would complain about is the wind noise but that is because I have helmet speakers that don't play to loud and the wind noise ruins my beats on the highway.

I'd love to get one I just havent found one that I like that fit's my big Ol Dome!!!

08-23-2011, 03:28 AM
and how do you like your star oh9bolt?

I like it a lot! Just like xtreme said it has a lot of wind noise but I wear ear plugs so it doesn't bother me except when I dont wear plugs in my ears on in town rides and I get on the interstate. Other than that it fits my head good, has amazing air flow.

oh9bolt
08-23-2011, 05:27 AM
You should have been looking for a c note a little better because I don't know if there are closeouts going on (I'm on my phone slow blackberry) but they were 200

xtremelow

So I just need to hit about 1k worth of helmets. Should be pretty easy to do. I was thinking of trying to have an order in a couple weeks.

xl_cheese, this may not be possible, but i think it may help if you gave a general idea of what the mark up on Bell Helmets are so folks can sort of determine what they'd be paying at cost rather than sending you 100 helmets to price out? just a thought? may get a few quicker orders?

is there a general industry mark up or suggested retail price as defined by Bell?

Netty. I have to keep this under the radar so to speak. PM me if you want pricing. It is pretty much a blanket mark up...

You'd be dumb to have less than 5 helmets. I sure hope you buy 2.

Well were does this put me then..... Plus one or two. Hell I have only ridden my Buell 4 times in the past 4 1/2 weeks..... Sure I dont need one more let alone 2 more, should get Buellchick one, then I can offset a new one for myself a little easier.

I spent to much at the Moto GP and already having 5 helmets doesn't help the fact so I have to opt out of this badass deal.

Finalizing and placing the order on Friday!

Thanks guys. I'd still be willing to give a discount if any of you need one at some point down the road. Just not as large of a discount as I'm doing now.

Everything is coming to my shop today! I'll send it out tomorrow. I had a chance to checkout that tinting shield and I'm pretty sold on it. Within 10 seconds of going outside it was dark. Inside it's completely clear.

I'm interested in a visor for my revolver if you can sell one by itself.

chevnut55
09-20-2011, 05:27 AM
got it looks great, light, the visor is the coolest thing I have seen. too bad its too big,the large is like a extra large. I need to exchang it for a med I hope..if the med fits.
