Honda H’ness CB350 Transformed Into Stunning Cafe Racer

A Taiwanese cafe racer creation based on the Honda Hness CB350 has caught our eye. It has a retro charm which this modification enhances into a head-turning custom creation with the simplest of bolt-on modifications and special paint finish treatment. 

The stock Honda Hness CB350 gets a complete makeover in the cafe racer mould. The classic cafe racer fairing with its chrome trim takes centre stage. It gets the clip-on handlebars tucked in a low position for the rider for a more aggressive stance. Replacing the split seat with a custom single unit and a pinstriped tail cowl completes the transformation. These design elements not only enhance the visual appeal but also play around with the ergonomics which makes this a true cafe racer.

The custom paint scheme on this cafe racer is a study in contrasts, playing on both bold minimalism and classic detailing. The base colour is a sleek black, providing a clean canvas for the other elements to shine. Chrome accents become the star of the show, adorning the engine fins, side panels, and the new dual exhaust system. This chrome adds a touch of old-school elegance and complements the black beautifully. The true eye-catcher lies in the pinstripes. Thin lines in silver and gold adorn the fuel tank, flowing seamlessly onto the custom single seat and matching tail cowl. The overall effect is a cafe racer with a timeless look, both bold and sophisticated.

The stock instrument cluster on the Honda Hness CB350 gets a makeover to match the cafe racer's focus on performance and aesthetics. The traditional semi-digital setup is replaced with a trio of pods for a more minimalist and race-inspired look.

The engine is likely unchanged from the stock Honda Hness CB350, retaining the air-cooled, 348.36cc, single-cylinder engine that produces a respectable 21 bhp and 30 Nm. These figures provide good low-end grunts for city riding, which might be accentuated by the free-flowing nature of the new twin exhaust system. The dual exhaust pipes not only add a visual punch but could potentially offer a throatier sound and maybe even a slight performance enhancement if tuned properly. Even the hardware is likely to be the same but the addition of whitewall tyres just makes the whole look just so wow!
