2. Product Features

• Retro style flat face shield compatible with Bell Bullitt Helmets.
• Each face shield is available with a black leather pull tab (note: this specific variant has a brown tab as per product description).
• Provides clear visibility while riding.

3. Setup and Installation

Follow these general steps to replace your helmet shield. Specific helmet models may have slight variations in the shield mechanism.

1. Preparation: Ensure your helmet is clean and placed on a stable surface.
2. Remove Existing Shield: Locate the shield pivot points on both sides of the helmet. Depending on your Bullitt helmet model, there may be a release button or a screw mechanism. Carefully disengage the existing shield from these pivot points. Refer to your helmet's original manual for precise removal instructions.
3. Align New Shield: Take the new Bell Bullitt Flat Replacement Shield. Align the shield's pivot points with the corresponding slots on the helmet.
4. Secure Shield: Gently press or slide the shield into place until it clicks or locks securely into the pivot mechanism on both sides. Ensure both sides are fully engaged.
5. Test Functionality: Open and close the shield several times to confirm it moves smoothly and locks into position correctly. Check for any gaps or loose fittings.

4. Operating the Shield

The replacement shield operates identically to the original Bullitt helmet shield. It is designed to provide protection from wind, debris, and insects while riding. The Silver Iridium tint offers reduced glare in bright conditions.

• Opening/Closing: Use the integrated tab to raise or lower the shield.
• Visibility: Ensure the shield is clean for optimal visibility. Be aware that tinted shields reduce light transmission and may not be suitable for night riding or low-light conditions.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life and clarity of your shield.

• Cleaning: Clean the shield with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the shield's coating.
• Drying: Air dry or gently pat dry with a clean, soft cloth.
• Storage: When not in use, store the helmet and shield in a protective helmet bag to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your replacement shield, consider the following:

• Wind Noise: If you experience excessive wind noise, ensure the shield is fully seated and locked into its pivot mechanisms on both sides. A slight adjustment or re-seating may resolve the issue. Check the helmet's gasket for any obstructions or damage.
• Difficulty Opening/Closing: Check for any debris in the pivot mechanism. Ensure the shield is correctly installed and not binding.
• Scratches/Damage: Minor scratches can impair visibility. Severely scratched or damaged shields should be replaced immediately for safety.
