The newest lids from the Harley-Davidson® MotorClothes® Black Label Collection reprise classic 1960s and 1970s style with modern technology.
Manufactured by Bell, both the men’s Black Label Black Diamond 3/4 Helmet (P/N: 97274-14VM, $175) and Black Label Slither 3/4 Helmet (P/N: 97273-14VM, $175) feature a fiberglass shell and a fixed, soft inner liner with anti-microbial treatment.
Their vintage-inspired, vivid metal flake paint is highlighted by full chrome trim and custom graphics. Each meets DOT requirements and is available in XS – XL sizes.
The Black Label Helmets are available now at most Harley-Davidson dealerships. For more information, visit Harley-Davidson
Three years too late. Typical.
That brown one is cool. I’m impressed that the artwork is the focal point and not the logo.
It kinda’ looks like ICON is designing Harley stuff now.
It kind of looks like Icon is creating the Harley graphics now.
I’m very partial to skull and snake designs, I always have been! I really like those two, a lot more than the grayish one with just flames. That one is a little dull for my taste.
The Bell Custom 500 is a great helmet. They are cheaper at your local Bell dealer.
The Bell end of the market.
3 years too late?……more like 5-6.
They will match perfect with all the dork’s Affliction gear.
There you go TT talking about yourself again.
Anybody ever run the Bell 3/4 helmet with one of the face shields on it? When I hit about 70 mph, without a shield, the wind wants to rip the helmet off my head. It’s really unusable on the highway.
What used to be “poor boys toys”
Are now rich peoples play things

funny, if it had Victory or Indian on it, people would be saying how awesome these were & how spot on & with the times they were, but because it’s HD they are 3 years late & Bell helmets suck, etc.. funny
Better get a good helmet lock….
Chris Bell told me they redesigned the fit for the 500. It should sit lower on your head now and maybe that will take care of your problem with lifting.

Exactly!
If you substituted Victory/Indian as the producers of these products, many on this site would be saying how cool these helmets are.
But because it’s HD, it is a day late and and dollar short.
@Calif Phil, thanks, it’s a 500 that I wear. The last time I wore it I had to loosen the strap, stuff my hand under it, and hold it on my head to relieve the tension on my jaw and neck.
I don’t want to bash Bell. I chose the helmet because the fit, comfort, and cost meet my parameters. Now I just need to figure out how to make it usable when I need it most.
