Additional On-Road/Off-Road Gear - Honda XL700V Owner's Manual

Additional On-Road Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection,
we also recommend:
• Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
• Leather gloves to keep your hands
warm and help prevent blisters, cuts,
burns and bruises.
• A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for
comfort as well as protection. Bright-
coloured and reflective clothing can
help make you more noticeable in
traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothes
that could get caught on any part of
your motorcycle.

Additional Off-Road Gear
On-road apparel may also be suitable for
casual off-road riding. But if you plan on any
serious off-road riding you will need more
serious off-road gear. In addition to your
helmet and eye protection, we recommend
off-road motorcycle boots and gloves, riding
pants with knee and hip pads, a jersey with
elbow pads, and a chest/shoulder protector.
