HONDA MAKES HEAD LINES

Both the Stag and Hare feature snaps for easy visor attachment. A full-face Hawk model complete with face shield is available in adult sizes as well as an extra-small size for youth.
Each new Hondaline BriteStripe helmet is built with a tough multiple-layer fiberglass outer shell, lightweight polyurethane interior and is fully lined with foam-backed trylon.
