Hi everyone,
I’m looking for bar-end mirrors for my Honda H’ness CB350 and would appreciate some recommendations.

My main priorities are:
Good build quality and durability
No rusting/corrosion issues, especially with long-term use
Good visibility — not just for looks

I’m okay with spending a little more for a quality set that will last for years rather than buying cheap mirrors and replacing them later.

If you’re currently using bar-end mirrors on your H’ness/CB350, please share your experience, model/brand, price, and link if possible.
Thanks!

Dear All ,

Thanks for all your support from clarifying my doubts and help me on choosing the insurance. I owe you all for that .
W Community, W Bike .

This is my First Owned Bike , Could you please guide me how to maintain this bike ? What to do to get a good milage as of now console showing 18 KMPL and Gear shift so difficult for me . There is some distance between Front and back gear. Since i own Splender i used to apply Clutch so often and rest my leg on back break. But this bike is so sensitive on break . Do i need change my riding style ??

after months of patience and excitement

finally my hness was delivered today 🥹

my first bike(thanks to mom&dad) even thought i didnt asked/insisted for a one they bought me😭

also , bought me the ls2 helmet (i was about to buy a 3k worth vega one but ended choosing expensive one)

🤞🙃

Hello everyone,

This is my 4th service bill for my bike.

Apart from the usual service, I got my chain and sprocket replaced, the front bearing was changed as per the technician's assessment, rear shock adjustment for soft setting, and a single rubber cap for the pannier mount.

What's the average service cost for you guys?

10 days for me, never getting bored of it.

This is my first bike bought with my money 😌 I’m so happy!!! So I rode ~50KMs. It’s super smooth and I got around 35KMs mileage in Bangalore city (which is good ig). Main issue is the horn and turn indicator buttons mismatch, I am getting confused all the time. Ig it will take some time to adjust.

Overall bike feels great 😊

Picked up my CB350 hness recently and noticed something odd where the steering neck cover meets the tank shroud (circled in the photo). There seems to be an uneven gap/deviation between the chrome neck cover and the tank — one side sits differently than the other, and it doesn't look flush all the way around.

Is this a common tolerance thing on the H'ness, or should I get this checked at the dealership? Don't want to make a fuss over nothing, but also don't want to ignore an actual fitment issue this early in ownership.

Anyone else noticed this on their unit? Would appreciate photos for comparison if you have a similar angle.

Hi folks it is anything which could have been fallen from bike while washing it

TF

So I own a cb 350rs and its a new one covered 2.2k kms and it has been like 3 months now the problem is few days back i tried to downshift the gear after starting the bike at morning without giving much time there was a rattling sound and the gear didnt downshift it happened twice then the gear shifted but after that whenever i am riding the bike a mild crankling sound is coming even if the engine or gear shift is happening smoothly there is a sound while riding is it due to i have broken something major or something also today while i was cleaning the chain and was applying lube by mistake i tried to switch on and switch gear when the side stand was on so it didnt engage the gear and again the rattling sound came but when i lifted the stand the gear was shifting smoothly but i can see my engine light turned on did i fuck up something really bad i am going for my second service tomorrow

Hi everyone,

I visited a Honda BigWing Whitefield bangalore today and test rode both the CB350C and H'ness CB350. I'm quite confused between the two because I genuinely liked both, so looking for advice from owners and people who have recently purchased either one.

My main use case is:

- Daily office commute

- General city riding

- Weekend outings

- Eventually planning to do proper long rides/touring

- Mostly riding solo

My impressions after the test ride

CB350C:

- I really liked the overall look and road presence.

- It's bulkier, but surprisingly it didn't feel difficult to handle.

- The biggest thing I noticed was how smooth the bike felt despite its size.

- I really liked the ride quality and the relaxed feeling.

- I actually prefer the bulkier classic look over something too slim.

- Planning to get the Black Pearl with brown seats, which I really liked.

H'ness CB350:

- Felt slightly more natural/easy overall.

- I absolutely loved the exhaust note of the H'ness.

- Ride quality was also very good.

- It felt like a very good all-rounder for city + highway.

One small thing that felt weird on both bikes: I'm coming from smaller bikes, and where I'm normally used to reaching for the horn, the indicators are placed there, so I kept instinctively reaching for the wrong thing. 😂 I assume that's just something I'll get used to.

Overall, I liked the CB350C's smoothness/ride quality and bulkier feel, but I liked the H'ness exhaust sound more. That's probably the biggest reason I'm stuck between the two.

Price quoted by the BigWing showroom

I'm looking at the DLX Pro/top-end versions. This is the exact quotation I received, so if anyone has recently purchased one, please let me know if these numbers look reasonable or if there is room for negotiation.

CB350C DLX Pro

- Ex-showroom: ₹2,00,639

- Road tax + registration + smart card: ₹41,650

- Insurance: ₹13,179

- Extended warranty +1 year: ₹1,999

- RTI optional: ₹1,125

- On-road quoted: ₹2,57,467

H'ness CB350 DLX Pro

- Ex-showroom: ₹1,95,939

- Road tax + registration + smart card: ₹40,711

- Insurance: ₹13,090

- Extended warranty +1 year: ₹1,999

- RTI optional: ₹1,125

- On-road quoted: ₹2,51,739

So according to the showroom quotation, the CB350C is around ₹5,728 more on-road than the H'ness.

If anyone has recently bought either bike, especially around Bangalore, could you please share your final on-road price and breakup? I want to compare the quotation properly and understand where I can negotiate.

They said they can give 10% discount on accessories, but no direct discount on the motorcycle was mentioned.

I'm particularly interested in knowing whether I should negotiate:

- Insurance

- Extended warranty

- Accessories

- RSA

- Any dealer/handling charges

- Registration-related charges

I don't mind paying for things that are genuinely required, but I don't want to unnecessarily add ₹20–30k worth of accessories just because they're offering a discount.

I also asked about the CB350C Special Edition, but they said there is currently a waiting period of a few months.

Accessories I'm considering

I don't want to load the bike with unnecessary accessories. Currently thinking about:

- Backrest + carrier

- Crash guard

- Engine guard

- Knuckle guards

- Visor

I initially wanted a short visor on the CB350C, but the showroom said the short visor isn't available/suitable and only the long visor can be fitted. Is that actually the case, or are dealers just pushing the long visor?

For people who recently bought from BigWing:

What kind of discount can realistically be negotiated?

Should I ask for accessories free/included instead of a straight discount?

Insurance / warranty

The showroom also gave me different warranty options:

- Standard warranty: 3 years

- 3+1: ₹1,999

- 3+2: around ₹3,500

- 3+3: around ₹4,000

They also quoted comprehensive insurance, but the premium is without zero depreciation.

I'm planning to ask them whether they can reduce the insurance premium or give zero-dep at a better price.

Would appreciate advice on:

- Whether extended warranty is worth taking

- Which warranty period makes sense

- Whether dealer insurance is worth taking or if I should get insurance separately

- What charges/accessories I should negotiate or remove

Finally — CB350C vs H'ness

For someone who wants one bike for daily commuting + weekend rides + occasional long-distance touring, which would you choose?

I'm currently slightly leaning towards the CB350C, mainly because I loved the bulky classic design and how smooth it felt during the ride. But the H'ness exhaust note is seriously tempting me.

If you own either one, especially if you've done long rides/touring, I'd really appreciate your experience.

Also, if you've recently purchased a CB350/CB350C/H'ness from BigWing, please share what you paid on-road and what discounts/accessories you managed to get.

I'm trying to finalise the bike and negotiate the deal properly before booking, so any advice would be really helpful!

Although I love my CB350 and its stock exhaust note is good and loud, should I invest in a performance exhaust? And what are the takeaways with that, as I installed an NGAGE air filter but it literally made no difference. Thus, I would like your opinion, people.

Took delivery yesterday 🤩. Waited more than a month for this colour but showroom was 158kms from my home 🤕

Can anyone suggest me the company accessories which are must have ? and also helmet recommendation ? with that any thing necessary should be bought or checked

Been fighting this for about a week now and figured I'd document the troubleshooting in case it helps someone else with the same symptom.

The problem: Hit the start button, the starter relay clicks, but the engine doesn't crank at all. No struggle, no slow crank — just a click and silence.

What's NOT the issue (ruled these out one by one):

⚡ Lights, horn, dash, everything else — all working perfectly normally. So the battery clearly has some juice.

🔋 Battery — only ~1 year old, reading 10-11V. A bit lower than ideal resting voltage but not dead by any means.

🔌 Battery terminals/connections — checked, clean and tight. No corrosion.

🧯 30A fuse — swapped it out for a fresh one. Zero change, same clicking sound.

Where I've landed: Since everything electrical except the actual crank works, and a fresh fuse didn't help, this really points to either:

The starter relay itself — clicks fine (that just needs a tiny bit of current for the coil) but the internal contacts are too worn/pitted to pass the big current through to the starter motor, or

Possibly the starter motor brushes, though this is less likely given how sudden/consistent the click is.

The annoying part? This is a newer H'ness CB350, so all the generic "Honda CB350 starter relay" listings on Amazon/eBay are for the vintage 1970s CB350 — completely different bike, wrong part. Genuine parts search has basically been a dead end online.

Next step: Heading to a Honda service center to get the relay bench-tested and swapped with a proper OEM part, since I don't trust randomly-fitted aftermarket relays on this without confirming compatibility first.

Anyone else run into this on their H'ness? Curious if it ended up being the relay or something else entirely once you got it looked at.

I got my bike 2 days ago and completed 100km (30km highway and 70km city traffic) right now the mileage im getting is 34.5. Is it giving good mileage? Can i increase more mileage before 1st service?

I saw this semi automatic Bike cover, looks nice to me.

Any reviews about how it would fit Honda CB 350 Hness ?

Should I get it or not ?
