Just curious if anyone can tell if it is an older Bell with a custom paint job or just a POS? The white one of course.

Looked like a Troy Lee Design autograph at the bottom but can't really tell.

Those came out around 1989-1990. It was basicly a knock-off of the Moto 3. I remember a couple of motorcycle shops selling those. Those were TNT decals if I remember right.

Looks like a copy of a Bell Moto 3 with a copy of a Moto 4 visor.

You just described the Bell Moto 3 Pro. A moto 3 style shell with a round vent instead of the slots and a moto 4 style visor instead of the 5-snap. They came out in about 1986, I had a sweet red and white one with some custom pin stripe / electrical tape graphics.

I remember Griffin made a knockoff of the Moto 4 back in the day. It didn't have the rear vents, and the shell was not as good. Visually, it was quite similar, other than the vents.
