With old-school 70’s style, this CB looks good and promises to be quite fun in the twisties
Since its global debut in India, we haven’t seen many custom iterations of the Honda CB350 H’ness and it’s starting to bug us a little.
So we dug deeper into the depths of social media and voila, found a subtle yet striking custom Honda CB350 from Taiwan.
Custom Honda CB350 Cafe Racer
The custom Honda CB350 (or GB350, as called in Taiwan) mainly boasts cosmetic changes and there are plenty worth mentioning.
Instead of going all crazy, the owner has resorted to simple changes and they work quite well
To start off, the owner of the bike has upped the chrome levels by replacing the stock black side panels with custom chrome ones. Similarly, the stock blacked-out ten-spoke alloy wheels have now turned chrome, thus adding even more twinkle to the package.
Rounding off the design is a custom paint job with a gloss black base coat and sporty silvery pinstripes on the bodywork.

Coming to the more ‘serious’ changes, the bike boasts a custom clip-on handlebar and an aftermarket seat with a rear seat cowl. This not only converts the cruiser-like CB350 into a cafe racer but should also make it more fun to ride, especially in the twisties.
In addition, you also get aftermarket handlebar grips and chrome bar-ends.
Sadly, though, the sporty riding posture isn’t backed up by any performance mods, meaning you’ll have to make do with the same 21 ponies
Sadly, though, the sporty riding posture isn’t backed up by any performance mods to boost performance. For reference, the CB350 H’ness makes 21PS and 30Nm from its 348cc, single-cylinder mill.
Like the engine, the underpinnings comprising single disc brakes, telescopic forks, and rear shock absorbers all remain as it is.
Final Thoughts
Need more details? Then simply swipe up.
All in all, this custom CB350 H’ness surely looks staggering and is a living example that subtle changes go a long way when done tastefully.
What we really want to see, however, is something similar here in India, and in case you have it, do send it across to us.
