Honda Highness CB350 Saddle Stays, Grab Rail Problem, Split Seat Comfort Update
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ต.ค. 2024
- In the last video on the Honda Highness CB350, I showed you how to install the split seat that the company provides as an official accessory and how I ran into a problem with the grab rail. (Video link: • Honda Highness CB350 S... )
Turns out, the grab rail that was packaged by Honda in the box of the new seat was actually the stock grab rail, which is slightly shorter than what is needed for the new seat. I approached Honda and they changed the grab rail and provided me with the correct one.
I also installed the saddle stays that Honda provides as an official accessory for the CB350 and you would not believe how low it costs - just Rs 697.
I don't think I have heard of accessories being priced this low, ever.
The labour charge for the grab rail and the saddle stays install came out to be Rs 300.
If you like my work and are interested in knowing about my other motorcycles, you can take a look at my Instagram page here: / abhinavbhatt19
Thank you so much for giving me your time. I hope you have a great day.
Cheers

A true biker with a huge heart......no rhetorics, no drama, no efforts to sound "cool"....just sharing genuine information in a friendly, confident manner...guys like you are rare..dear Abhinav...!
Agree absolutely
Thank you 🙏
Totally aggree with you ❤️
He is a gem of a person 🙏
Split seats and the grab rail looks nice.. Will surely miss your content on the Hness and Meteor 😊
I'll make missing videos on them too :(
@@abhinavbhatt Hey can you also discuss in your missing video which one would you miss the most. In your ultimate analysis which one is a better buy. I am torn between Hness and Meteor.
@@Funkaarush get honda if the bigwing showroom is between 50-60 km from your home. If not then go for re
@@Funkaarush Hness bro, Meteor has lost it's charm completely. CB350 is the new king, long live the king.
It feels to me like an emotional breakup moment, that finally time has arrived to say goodbye to your series on "CB and Meteor". However thank you once again for all your effort. Looking forward for your new series on other bikes...
Thank you. I do have a few more lined up though :)
What are you talking about bro? What emotional breakup? Please explain.
You have made me fall in love with this bike.. just waiting for a big wing showroom in my city..
Hopefully it comes soon.
Nasik I want it
Nice, split seat does look good.👍
Now Honda needs to just add a backrest on top of the new grab rail. Mostly detachable.
That would do wonders.
Please share this so that Honda actually hear 🙏🙏🙏 😎😀
Sure.
Thanks Abhinav for all your wonderful videos on Honda Cb350 , really enjoyed every bit of it !!! 🙏
Thank you.
Thankyou Abhinav, mamaji, and patiala friend for the novel and life on these bikes
It is very nice that a premium bike from honda had such reasonable pricing for original accessories. Big advantage for the users.
Absolutely
You did a fair review of both the bikes thanks to your friend and mamaji for lending those beautiful motorcycles so we can watch your reviews on it and in my opinion you had done justice to both of them. Most of the channels or vloggers are criticizing any one of them but as you say ride it to feel it. Thank you so much. Loved every bit of content in the past couple of months. Thank you Abhinav da
:)
Thanks for the excellent coverage of both the CB350 and Meteor. Special thanks to Mamaji and your friend in Patiala. Your videos have helped a lot of people choose their next rides. Get well soon from the crash and looking forward to the next series.
🙏
I hardly ever comment on YT videos but have to give you a thumbs up and thank you for all the videos you have posted on the CB350. You were the first one to post videos on the bike when it came out. In the era of sponsored and promotional videos-Honda dint have a very big media drive for this bike and all the usual youtube channels missed out on it but you still bought us content on it with your honest and straight forward videos. Keep up the good work and keep reviewing. It was a pleasure watching your videos on the CB350 Abhinav. Cheers mate.
Thank buddy. This means a lot.
Done the test ride today. Such a delight to ride this bike. Thanks for the detailed video. It feels like I already knew how the ride will be and it was exactly same 👍
Bro i watched all your cb 350 videos, thanks for all videos. Clarifies most of the faqs. Thanks a lot
Finally!! Honda Vs RE ... Series got over 🥺😣.......We will miss them on your channel 😓...
I may release a few more videos.
Yippeee! ❤️ Am gonna get my Saddle stays righr away 😉👍 thanks for your update bhai. And yeah... Outstanding passion you have shared through these videos of Highness & Meteor. And..
🙏 Mamaji k liye ek bada thanks 😁
🙏
Thankyou for all your valuable and informative videos.. I am sure a lot of guys including me have purchased CB 350 just because of your videos.. Thanks Man.. Stay Safe Keep Riding 🏍🤘🏻
Thanks brother.
Thanks again for this video and we will miss your videos on these new 350 bikes.
Thanks for being a part of the journey :)
@@abhinavbhattSurely Will miss your revelations about these 350 cc 's
I am cb350 owner in Taiwan. Thanks for your introduction of the official accessories. It’s very helpful. Unfortunately the cb350 here are imported by trading companies and no official dealers. It’s pity that the official accessories are all unavailable in Taiwan.
Will miss you Abhinav. My CB350 in your memory. Seeya
I'll be covering more bikes and the CB350 will keep making guest appearances :)
The split seat enhances the looks..👍
Finally the bike goes to Mamajiii👍👍👍
Haha. I'll get it back time to time.
CB 350 will be remembered because of Abhinav .
🙏
Yes definitely 👍

ലവന് പുലിയല്ലേ....!
I got my Hness 3 days ago, but I found the discoloration of the silencer near the engine. Did you faced the same problem?
We thank you for your reviews on both the machines... really they are very full of informations.... thank you and your friend Srinivas.
Thank you.
That helmet lock issue is well pointed out. Good video Abhinav!
Thanks
And the series ends. Thanks to you, mamaji, Jaideep, Srini and Vaibhav.
Thank you.
Good Morning, Finally you were right, Accidental mis placement. Loved your honest review and good day to you.👍
Thank you.
Sir the bike is looking very beautiful with the new seats and modifications..I wish one day I'll be able to buy it...you have explained it very well...I really like the bike...just one thing is missing that is the Kick start...I wish honda would have given a manual way to start incase the battery gives trouble...
Nice video ,,,pls make a video about how to set an engine during running-in period on cb highness for first 1000kms,,,it would be helpful for many of us...
I'll try.
Man...at the risk of repeating what others have already put it...I'm really going to miss your in depth yet absolutely understandable videos of CB350....but I am glad Mamaji is going to get the bike (do record a video of that legendary handover if possible) ... I booked a CB350 because it felt like you did all the test rides for me...thanks for all the guidance! Will keep following your videos so I can learn more about bikes!
Thanks buddy. I hope you enjoy the bike.
Why would we miss his videos? I don't understand. Has something happened?
Lucky guy having all these beauties in your garage 👍
Thanks. Worked very hard to get them.
@@abhinavbhatt brother you deserve more than that , love to see more collection in your garage in future ❤️.
🙏
I will get the cb 350 just because of you bro ❤️
Anytime you can come to Rishikesh and drive it 🙏 in hills
@ Abhinav ❤️
Great sir jee again caught you in the beginning again
Thanks for the vdo Booked hness lastweek. Love from Kochi ❤
Saddle stays look fantastic..very aesthetic
Yeah.
Bro's got a voice of cricket commentary ❤❤
I'm really jealous of you're bike collection man... Really really jealous... 😄😄 have fun buddy 🍻
Thank you :)
Abhinav Ji, Aap ko mera Pranam.
I started following your Vlogs from the day the bike was handed over at the Showroom.
The bike needs to be redefined.
Platform: CB 1100 EX
Single engine
Dual instrument cluster
Long seat
Luggage carrier, with hard mounting points.
Back rest
Kick start, on a low battery charge.
USB port with durst cap.
Option to fit Centre stand, for easy service.
Closed chain guard.
Accessories, power ports with fuse. To protect magneto and rectifier/charger hardware.
GPS, Anti theft tracker kit under locked seat.
The bike has been launched in the right segment.
An udated version, with these added features will bring more value to this model.
A perfet family commuter bike for urban and rural towns. With todays traffic density, a two wheeler is a Great blessing.
Happy riding memories.
Kind regards to all.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai
That's a well thought out list.
Abhinav Ji! You speak very eloquently. I know a few who do, but you are one who just Independently came with your own Vlog. You must have given a fair share of your good time, sharing your experience with the all new, Honda Motorcycles, CB350.
In the late 90s, Honda stopped producing the CD 200, Road Master.
A safe commuter Motorcycle for a family, with a reliable engine, low hanging mudguards, rear luggage rack, side luggage box,helmet lock, option on front Steering stem for 'pad lock' like good old days!
Hope to see more of your reviews on another great product.
Best regards to you and family.
@@aviator9985 thank you :)
Mama Ji will be happiest person to watch this video.
He's getting his CB 350 back.
😊😊
Honda should endorse Abhinav as their brand ambassador for cb350 and upcoming bigwing bikes.
🙏
Yes brother you are right 👍
Looks excellent!! 😍😎
Mamaji- Beta I was waiting for this video🙏🏻
Followers- We want more videos on this beauty 🤣😝
😂😂😂
Your collection is garage goals!
✌
Surprisingly, the split seat is looking much better than OEM single seat on Honda. IMO it surely enhances the retro look of a bike. The idea of CBS 350 having split seat option from Honda factory can be considered. Let Honda ponder over it, after all looks do matter.
Will wait for a review of the split seat while riding the bike. Also the saddle stays seems to protect the rear shockers in case of a fall.
Will try to do that.
Thanks for the update....wonder why they don't exchange the seats....and instead make us shell out more
Yeah. Should learn customisation from Royal Enfield.
@@abhinavbhatt you feel the need to modify the front seat into a touring seat for comfort...like the customized seat on the meteor?
@@abhinavbhatt While puchasing a new bike Honda should offer to exchange those not so good stock fittings like those useless short stalked mirrors, short single seat, MRF tyres etc with neat, usable long stalked mirrors, that longer and better looking split seat and better quality grippy tyres from other good brands. Also I will personally opt for a standard Unicorn style Horn/Indicator switch if one is made available. And I seriously think they should. The stock one with the unwarranted reversed horn/indicator switch positions is just terrible.
It's kind of emotional moment
We will miss the Mama ji Hnesss and your review about it 🙄
Thanks a lot for ur efforts.will miss u
:)
New grab rail looks good
I love you how you speak and ur vlog is awsm bro am ur fan from Bangalore. continue to do lot of honda h,ness 350 video bro ..
Thanks for all the content on the Hness ... I think 🤔 I am going to hold fire and wait for RE 650 cruiser ... I believe may be launched next year 👍
Yeah. That would be interesting.
Really after owning the first production model bike of India to reviewing it making meaningful videos on it without editing the videos with music, effects, filters or anything else uploading those videos raw on youtube #AbhinavBhatt Sir u were way better than proffessional motovloggers on youtube.
Thank you :)
When someone says, "Hello guys, I'm Abhinav" with that sexy deep voice....we know it's going to be genuine and informative.
Keep it up!
Bhai e konse line me chale gaye 😂
Very true indeed
Hahahaha
Bro I love your videos
Thank you.
In a few weeks it'll be like: Hi, I am Honda H'ness CB350 and this is Abhinav Bhatt ... 🦜
😂
😄😄😄👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
You should keep CB350 for a long term review 😄. I bet you'll the first then😊
I'd love to, but I have to ride my own bikes too.
Tq bro ur cb350 videos vr suprb and I tooo bought one. Will miss u bro. Come back fast vd ur new videos
Sure thing.
Before returning bikes, can you quickly check if meteors front mudguard is a straight fit onto cb350 without jugaad.
Cb350 mudguards are short and not a big fan of chrome
I won't be able to do that. Have returned the Meteor already.
I think Honda missed a chance by not enhancing the seat comfort of the split seats, would have compensated for the stiff ride in the city. Thank you for these videos 🙂
:)
Bro, the stock seat is a little hard and your bums will start hurting if you sit for 45 min to 1 hour. I am quite surprised to know this accesory seat gave you so much comfort because it actually looks almost the same.
Hi,
I have the honda hness anniversory edition which has split seat.
I use my bike along with my kids
So I am thinking of extending the grab rail by 2 inches more behind than the current position.
Not sure how to make this happen. Can you please suggest something
Hi can you tell me where did you get the saddles on your bike from. I am looking for similar ones please share the link with price if possible. Thank you very much
Thank you Abhinav and Mamaji🙏
Hey Abhinav,
I like the look of the Honda CB350 now!! Looks neat, I'd say. How sad, Meteor back to original as with the Honda CB350!! 😞 Saddle Stays are cheap, indeed! Your Expulse really looks beat!! You're lucky you didn't break anything.
Ride safe, take care!! Cheers!!
I was wearing the best of riding gear and trust me had I not, I would have been in hospital with multiple fractures. Both arms broken, shoulders, back, one leg, ankle - I can feel the pain today - without the armour, I don't even want to imagine
@@abhinavbhatt - Stay safe, ride safe, take care!! Cheers!!
🙏
boss , looking forward for a long tour (600+km one side) review from your side. i have make my mind to buy this bike but will convert into sales only after this long term review
Hi. I won't be able to do that. The bike is going to its respective owner.
Abhinav bhaiya..
You seem happier today..
(Or relaxed maybe) but something definitely
Any particular reason..
Because I am travelling
Hi.. Hope the option of fitting the new grab rail and saddle stays, on the stock seat exists.... Or is it fait accompli, to necessarily fit the less than purposeful split seats, in order to fit the grab rail n saddle stays??
The saddle stays will fit fine on the stock grab rail.
Great stuff as ever. Be a little careful with your off-road adrenaline. If i was yashraj banner i would have u replace john, hrithik and amir for dhoom 4 in a flash but u gonna preserve your youth for the project, so pls stop jumping off the cliffs while adventure motoring. Seems i have lived the honda and meteor journey with u and would surely relish it. If u have any idea why most Enfields don't go straight hands off pls share or better still ask jaideep this question and let us know. Wish u a great journey to patiala and back home..see u soon with your next rock-youtube-video and hope to see u and meet u in person one fine day👍🏽
Hahaha. Sure.
Abhinav ji please clear this one doubt. Which is better for pillion? Meteor or CB?
Looks dope ☠️, i think it'll look badass once fork gaiters and headlight grille(if there's any) is installed.
Scrambler look.
the saddle stay you installed is small one or big one? i mean saddle stay A or B ?
Suspension is jumping(on some surfaces)for my highness,my back is paining over 60km, any suggestions
Are the accessories & helmet as per sec138 (4)(f) given at the time of delivery??
The quality of the seat is good or bad because my inbuilt seat burning after driving 50 km
What amazing saddle stays at what a great price!!!!! Honda, why did you not make the navigation console a separate one on the CB 350 like RE did on the Meteor....why???😓😓😓
That's one thing that is making me to wait a little more before I purchase it, please launch and updated version with a CB 350 having solid colours, bluetooth connectivity and a separate navigation console!!!
PLEASEEEEEEE
Just put a phone holder for Rs 500.
@@abhinavbhatt Arre bhai, I know!!! Everyone uses that. I just feel too scared to use my phone worth 20k on a 500 rupees phone holder.
Then use a Rs 1500 phone holder 😅
@@abhinavbhatt hahahahaha😄😄😄😄😄
FINALLY! Mamaji khush ho jayenge ekdum :)
Bilkul
Dear Abhinav, I am totally sold on the CB350, Your videos made it all the more clearer for me to choose a bike but lately there's been a lil rumour about a CB400 Retro styled bike coming along in March 21 have you heard about it or should I not wait and go for this one? Although I loved the ride of the Honda 350 but since I was going to spend on a bike so it's just got me confused to either wait till March or just go in for the cb 350 can you help?
Little birdie told me Honda has a 410cc engine ready for the new variants. I'd say wait if you can.
Is there any official/aftermarket accessory for the rear top-box?
Did Test Ride yesterday and am buying it
Congratulations
@@abhinavbhatt Thank you :)
Please share abhinav, this split seat is company fitted or after market?
Company fitted.
Company fitted after charging aftermarket price!😄
Does this saddle stay suits all varieties of saddle bags or its universal?
Is it for rynox nomad or drystack?
Universal.
bro, definitely a video on Project Interceptor
Noted
Abhinav I want to kn one thing that Honda hness back mud guard can be fitted in old bike
Hi abhinav. How would you rate hness and meteor engines on refinement say if you have to give marks between 1 to 10 ?
Honda 10, Meteor 9.5
Is there a backrest possible/available ? Can we take that accessories seat when you buy or you have to pour extra money Sir.
You'll have to get an aftermarket backrest. You will have to buy the split seat separately, you can't order the bike with it.
I'v started missing your cb350 already.... :(
Which saddle bags do you use with this bike for long trip.please inform.
Never used this bike for long rides. Never used saddle bags on it. But if I were to, I would have used Rynox Nomad since I have them.
Bhai can you plz tel me where u got that wired lock I need it badly, I didn’t get it along with the bike.
Hey man, quick question even though you said that the quality of the split seat is the exact same of the stock. Were you able to tour on it once again with the new seat. I remember you stating that the stock seat was super comfortable for long rides. Just wanted to know.
Cheers
Hi. No, I did not ride the bike much with the split seat. But it should be exactly the same as the stock.
For me talking about the highness first thing that comes to my mind is Abhinav bhatt..
:)
Hi bro 👍.we can use PPF (pant protection film) for hness 350 mate green?please advise
Yes
Good video Abhinav. Do you have another mamaji for Classic that's on the horizon? 🍻
No. I have my friend Jaideep in Punjab. I'll get from his dealership :)
@@abhinavbhatt guess you enjoy the Punjab runs for more reasons than just the bikes. Ride safe dude & keep them coming 🍻
@@googleuser6972 thanks
hey man!!!wanted to know if there are any showrooms nearby south delhi from where i could buy the highness? or there's only the one in gurugram?
Only Gurgaon.
@@abhinavbhatt aahh :/
Thanks Abhinav for your videos.It really helped during the waiting period of the bike.
Did you get the accessories from bigwing service center because the showroom in bangalore just don't seem to kbowbwhen they will get any !
Big Wing service centre and they are scarce here too.
Will you install the 750cc kit on interceptor in future 🙄 just wondering.
Unlikely. If I ever do, it will be the 865 kit.
@@abhinavbhatt i can't even imagine how fast it'll become then.
I'll need to completely redo the bike then. New suspension, brakes, wheels and swingarm.
Is bigwing providing helmet as per 138(4)(f) central law??. & Accessories Which is inclusive in exshowroom cost.
Hi Bro,
which one would be better option Highness or Meteor for comfort driving , I live in Bangalore and it has a lot of bad roads , for daily use of 80 km up and down , what would you suggest ? As I'm hearing seat and suspension is not that great in Highness, will it really help in day to day use in patchy roads. For me speed doesn't matter.
Give me your genuine opinion
See, I think you should take a test ride of both the bikes to decide. They both have their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to comfort and it would vary for everyone based on their body and riding pattern. Only you can judge the best what will work for you.
@@abhinavbhatt Yes True , but test drive didnt really helped me , we drive for a short distance and time , but the comfort problems can be identified once we use the bike atleast for a week or month, so you have ridden these bikes for a week minimum , what was yours thoughts on the comfort and suspension? which is better
I'm more comfortable on the Honda due to its ergonomics but I prefer the suspension of the Meteor.
@@abhinavbhatt ok thanks, how long non stop (without tired) we can ride in Honda vs meteor?
Hi gd evening sir ji
Pls suggest me which one should I go
Either honda or imperial 400.....?
Test ride both and decide.
How comfortable this split seat wrt to stock seat ???
Is it worth putting additional amt of about rs3.5k for this split seat???
Pls provide ur feedback, it will be valuable for many of us.
Thks in adv ❤️👍
Explained in the video. Yes, worth getting if you ride a lot with a pillion.
@@abhinavbhatt Considering the length its ok, but the comfort? Is it little softer than stock seats specially on back seat?
@@kamaldhar2100 same as stock.
