Well, had some issues with my helmet and took it in for warranty, luckily.. Bell is pretty awesome about it and will just ship me a new one. Sad thing is they don't produce the Rally anymore so looks like I will be losing my stripes. Hoping they send me a gloss black one, I have some ideas on how to personalize it once I get it back.
Losing my stripes

COOL! Sorry to hear about losing your current helmet but awesome that they step up so nicely under warranty to get you a new one!
_Maybe it will be a new hot pink solid color for you?!
JK!
Hopefully it is a good color!
Mfrs that are SO easy to work with for their warranty earn my repeat business on their products. My Arai RX-Q's baseplates (under the colored side plates) that the visor locks into, the levers were not as lose and move out as easily to manipulate. I contacted Arai Americas and without me asking they offered to send out the new baseplates absolutely free, not even shipping costs. Got them in the mail 3 days later via priority mail.

UPDATE: Alright, they are sending me a new gloss black one. Bell will always get my business with the look of their helmets and the quality of their padding/comfort inside. A lot of helmets out there, even bigger brands like AGV really lack on the frontal padding around the forehead. As far as the warranty... this is the 2nd helmet they have sent me brand new after my original purchase. I spent about 140-150 initially when I bought the first helmet, the redesigned the helmet and I got an RMA on that for the new revision and then when this one had a few rubber sealer issues due to a fault in the fog guard at the front of the helmet, they are sending me a third helmet. =) Way to go Bell!COOL!
