I was looking at some old photos of me back in the day when I rode my Interceptors {83 V45, 84 VF1000F, 85 VF1000R} . I had a Bell Prostar Bubba Shobert replica helmet back them. I have been trying to find one but no luck. I have a 1 year old RF-1000 that I do not use anymore due to it is candy red , we went to a new set of RF-1000'S in black when we bought the new valk. So the wife said way don't i just have our painter paint the spare helmet like the one I wore back then. { I love my wfe} so I came up with a few photos and Jimmy said he could match it. He is going to hand paint the BELL logo in front. I pick it up next week.

That'll look great... But, why not just get a Bell decal and have your painter clearcoat over it!? I'm sure your painter is very good, but the Bell Logo will always lQQk hand painted and it would save the extra $$$.

You can find decals all over the .net including eBay & cheap too!
Maybe someone here even has a couple, reasonably sized, that they might just pop in the mail to you.

Thank you for you suggestion, i thought about that but due to the vents in the front of the RF-1000. The decals need to be a tad smaller than the 3" the old prostars came with. So after taking with jimmy about that he said he could paint one {2 3/4}in that would fit between the vents.

Just a heads up. Not trying to shove it down your throat.

Towards the bottom of the link this guy has 2" & 3" Bell decals $5.00  for a  10/pack
