Thanks. If it is angled like mine you need to adjust the throttle and brake cable, out. The other one poses no issue as such (Pure height riser)

Hello Sir,
Coming from TB, I too was inclined to get the Carbon racing risers. Though I wanted to buy the angled riser but I was concerned with the re-routed cables faulting with the Forks.

Request you to share the following info
1. Can you please share some more snaps wrt the routing of Accelerator and clutch cables
2. Compared to the default setup are you noticing more flexing of the re-routed cables and did you notice the cables rubbing against the forks when turning?
3. Snaps of current seating position

Thanks in Advance

[Sebring]

The seating position is spot on. Release the fork nut and along with it the two cables as shown here (Accelerator and brake). There is no fouling, as CR seems to have taken a good amount of time to develop this product

This is my CB350 H'ness .We do occassionally mention her as "Karuthamma".



Accessories added ( and my take on these ):

1. Zana Crash Guard with Slider

Fits perfect . Excellent quality and finish

2. Sahara Half Stripes Retro Seat Cover

Excellent quality , not a perfect fit though.

3. Decathlon - 100 Accessories Lock with Key
4. Honda Genuine Engine Guard.
5. NexusGears Rear rack and backrest ( Going in detail as I have not seen any online review on this yet )

Pros:
Sturdy and serves the purpose .
Cons :
Expensive
Not a perfect fit out of the box.
The backrest is bent forward and required 3 technicians combined to yank it to a get a better angle.
The backrest takes up atleast 1 inch of usable seat space.
Rear rack rusted at weld joints within 2 weeks of usage.
Paint chipping off.

***The NexusGears guys were quick to respond and replace the defective backrest delivered initially. Of late , there is no repsonse on the rust and paint issue when I contacted them. This is the only accessory I think is not worth the money I put in.

An absolute must have which I am planning to add to this list is the mud flaps once the genuine Honda ones are available.

It was a long wait (almost 6 years) for me for a good retro classic bike and I am very happy with the purchase. The bike is excellent for highways and good for city rides.

Though the NexusGears product is not perfect , the backrest is very helpful when on long rides and acts as a guard when my kid is riding pillion. The rear rack helps to carry luggage (however small it is) which otherwise is a pain on this bike. Hope Honda brings genuine backrest and a rear rack soon.

Thanks a lot to @Sebring for his detailed thread on CB350 ownership and all the tbhp-ians for their valuable inputs on this thread which helped me through the process.

H'ness Owner's

looks like after seeing our jugaad to stop the slush spraying on Engines. Carbon Racing has come up with a fender extender to solve this issue.

The link to fender extender is https://carbonracing.in/collections/...-on-pre-orders

PS: I do not work / promote carbon racing. This is just an update to all the owners who were looking for a proper fix to solve the slush slinging on engine

[R.G]

Thanks for the info. CB350 owners whatsapp group here has got one or other fix for this issue on daily basis. From the link shared, it appears the solution offered is only for the front wheel. Both wheels contribute to the slush getting thrown to the engine area.

From my discussions with Service centre guys , Honda is bringing mud guards as an official accessory and it is just around the corner . I asked them for details on how it is getting fitted etc, to which they said they do not have much information on that now. He said the bikes will be given preference in the order in which they were delivered.

Been riding the CB350 since a while now, and while I liked it at first, with time, I feel that the acceleration leaves a lot to be desired for.

Is there any legit way to boost the performance of the CB350, mainly the acceleration?

I know what you mean; it is just the character of the bike. It is good for what it is, a Bullet-counterpart, an excellent one at that. But if you're expecting Duke-ishness or a baby Bonneville, nope.

Having said that though, it is a lot of fun in the city in the midrange, keeping revs a little high. Quite different from the fun of riding low-end-torque on other bikes, especially if you're used to Enfields. But when I ride it differently, keep the revs simmering, lean forward a little bit and flick it through the city, it is just sublime.

I think you can get by with playing with the sprocket though. The gearing is tall, especially 2nd and 3rd are tall. You may be able to get something out of playing with the sprocket if you have the expertise. Personally I am happy with it the way it is, its got plenty of punch for the riding I do.

Yeah, the CB350 has a weedy bottom-end. It feels lazy when you short-shift and keep it at low RPMs. However, I only recently discovered that the bike has a meaty mid-range . Resist the urge to shift up early and you'll find that the bike pulls hard and fast all the way to the redline. It feels counter-intuitive to ride a bike with a long-stroke motor like this, but one needs to keep the motor on the boil to make fast progress.

Coming from a Duke 200, I find the lack of initial enthusiasm from the CB350 a bit boring, but then, other aspects of the bike kind of make up for it .

Honda H'Ness CB350 gets a price hike of Rs. 3,405.

The H'Ness CB350 Deluxe variant is now priced at Rs. 189,905 while the Deluxe Pro variant is priced at Rs. 195,905 ex-showroom, Delhi.

A friend of mine and I took delivery of two Black DLX 350s just before the wave 2 lock down here in Bangalore!









Also bought the Carbon Racing handle bar raiser and the mud fender! I am yet to get these fixed!

Got carbon racing mud flap and installed it on the bike. Whoever wants to fix a mud flap, so far this is the best option available in the market because this is actually made for CB350 and this is suitable for Hness CB350 only, not for for RS.

Mud flap quality is good, but to remove the layer from double sided tape was a pain, it was just not coming out smoothly. I did not remove the mudguard, did couple of trials as to how I was gonna fix it and then with tape just fixed it easily.



Carbon racing also provided screws if you want to fix it that way. It will be more sturdy for sure, but there is no way I am gonna drill my brand new bike. This will do just fine. Due to lock-down could do only grocery trips and so far everything is good. Yesterday I was riding through muddy water and mud flap is doing what it is supposed to do, there is definitely an improvement, unlike before my jeans were not covered in mud when I reached home




Cheers.
