Honda (HMSI) recently launched an array of accessories for its CB350 range of motorcycles. However, Honda has taken a rather interesting route by selling the accessories as kits instead of selling them individually. There are a total of 4 for H’ness CB350 and 2 for CB350 RS. So, let’s take a look at them!
H’ness CB350 Café Racer
Let’s start with the Café Racer Custom accessory kit for the H’ness CB350, which is undoubtedly the most striking of the bunch. It gives the modern-retro motorbike a much more aggressive retro appeal. With this accessory, you get a cafe racer-style pillion seat cowl with a wraparound headlamp cowl with a fairing. The fork gaiters that are now standard on 2023 CB350 provide even more retro flair to the bike.
Honda has fitted a chrome garnish on both the side panels as part of the Café Racer Custom kit, even though the H’ness was already adorned in chrome. In addition, an engine crash protector and a small sump guard will also be included in the kit. The total cost of this equipment, which is the most expensive of the six, is Rs 22,200.
CB350 RS Café Racer
The CB350RS is additionally supplied with a Café Racer package, with a cost of Rs 17,500. It shares a similar aesthetic with the Hness CB350. This kit includes a headlamp and pillion seat cowl. In addition, it has an engine guard and fork gaiters.
But because of the blacked-out components, it appears a little more contemporary than the H’ness CB350. In addition to this, Honda also provides handlebars with a brushed metal finish and rim stickers.
If you want to keep your CB350 RS basic, Honda offers a kit called the SUV Custom. After installation, the motorcycle will have sturdy, well-made knuckle guards. Furthermore included are a flyscreen, rim strips, miniature pannier supports, and engine crash barriers. The total cost of the equipment is Rs 7,500.
The Solo Carrier Custom accessory pack will upgrade and replace the rear seat with a carrier that would be just big enough to mount a tail bag for the weekend trip, turning the CB350 into a single-seater.
The kit has an engine crash bar, a flyscreen, and chrome trim on the side panels, just like the other options. However, you will be out Rs 16,200 for it.
There is the Tourer Custom kit for Rs 17,600 if you intend to travel with the H’ness CB350. A big windscreen, large pannier stays, and a tail rack are also included in the accessory package, in addition to the knuckle guards, engine guards, and sump guards. Honda has also modified the footrests to be broader and flatter for improved long-distance riding comfort.
There is a kit called the Comfort Custom that incorporates practically the entire Touring package. Nevertheless, this package includes a pillion backrest rather than a tail rack. This kit will cost you Rs. 16,500.
Now, compared to the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, the CB350 offers a much wider range of accessories. However, there is a catch, Honda exclusively provides accessory kits, and customers cannot yet purchase individual components from these kits. Instead, the kits will be fitted at a dealership level, and consumers will get the CB350’s standard components as well, allowing for a wide range of customisation possibilities. These kits are also usable by current customers.
The H’ness CB350 and CB350 RS are mechanically and feature-wise identical, save for the packaging. In order to continue, a 348cc engine that produces 20.78 bhp and 30 nm peak torque is used. Honda has, however, made minor changes to the H’ness CB350 and CB350 RS for 2023. Starting now, all bikes sold will come standard with the new seat, which has softer padding and fork gaiters.
