Honda H'ness CB350 - Handlebar Risers - Does it help? 

Thanks bro.. in case you missed it, below link for fog lights Installation without tampering OE harness. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--swOfiM2dms.html

Do check his previous yet very detailed Wiring Manuel video on that

Howdy! SaEd, Is it true that 5.3 height would be better to choose the inclined one and above height should go for the straight. What would be your recommendation.

I’m feeling pulled one side pls suggest ?

Bro i too have 350Rs and felt pain on my back Plz tell me upto how much it improves after installing handle bar raisers

How are the inclined handle bar risers?

How are the angled raisers and what's your height.

What's your height for reference?

update? how much inclined one helped

Thanks buddy. The RS handle is further straighned up compared to the H'ness. so adding this can help the riding posture.

@@RajkaGarage Many thanks, Raj.

Thanks buddy

Thanks buddy 😊

Thanks buddy.. Do think about installing the inclined ones, one of the member from our Mumbai Highness group installed it, but later removed as the cables were at strain and also the handle switch position was titling downward. Regarding, my subscribers, recently read this somewhere" A millionaire driving a Bugatti- 1 million views. A millionaire showing you how to build a business to afford a Bugatti. - 600 views People don't want to be educated, they want to be entertained 😅

@@RajkaGarage Yeah that was my fear, after seeing after hearing similar stories. It is possible to go for after market clutch cable if it's installed? Also, the 2nd philosophy is completely true. That might be the actual reason

@@RajkaGarage - brilliantly said. No worries on subscribers, it will increase today or tomorrow. Be original and be honest as you are now... Best wishes.

I think a Unicorn cable is longer than the Hness..will check practically and update..

@@RajkaGarage no other RU-vidr would go this extra mile! I'm sure nos would catch up, also as our CB350 will last for generations, future buyers would still be interested here Also, that unicorn cable check, that'd be so much help.. I'm 5'4" height CB350 rider hence feeling if handlebar could be located but near, it'll feel better for long rides

Did you put the straight ones or inclined ones. Next i am going to try the RD handle to see if that makes it any further comfortable in long rides. May have to re route the cables then.

My height is 5.5 and so I had to reach out to the handlebar. During full turns in city traffic it used to uncomfortable at times. By installing this my posture has become more upright and I hands are much relaxed now. There is another inclined ones which can add more comfort. It does not impact looks by any means.

Use a good Allen Key and put some small metal pipe from the outer of the Allen Key to add torque if it's too tight. Just ensure to keep a cloth on the tank to protect the surface while doing this work.

@@RajkaGarage thank you! Let's try this out. 😁

Yes, I am still using them and they have made my overall seating posture better, if not the best. I am using the straight ones which doesn't need any cable rerouting and hence no issues in that area. If you go for the inclined risers, which are more comfortable, then you need to re route the clutch cable from outside the the fork pipe.

No buddy, no such issues since last almost 2 years.

Not really. To increase the mirror stalks height you can use the studds used in any Activa mirror. These are small 1" extenders used between the mirror and the yoke.

Will do a video as suggested buddy 🙂

@@RajkaGarage great. I also have MH04 passing and was wondering if I can get it done from the same place you did.

Will surely try bro.. though I don't plan to fit on my bike, know few friends who have done it.

@@RajkaGarage 🙏

Hey mate, couple of factors: 1.how many kms have you completed on ODO? If it's less than 1500 kms and not even done 1st oil change. Its common for new gear boxes to be a little clunky especially from 3rd to 2nd as the gear dogs are not tuned with each other. If you see my very first video on the Hness when I took delivery and went to Pune from Mumbai, towards the end of that video, I was talking about the gears being little hard while shifting to 2nd and the time it will take a for the parts to settle with each other. 2. At times we get on the brakes suddenly and speed is killed abruptly. In such case it's very the Engine RPM is higher than the wheel speed and this tall variance in speed makes shifting hard. Also, just suggestion on oil change. Ask the SVC to use Honda Throttle Fully Synthetic 10W30 oil, if they are not doing it already. Coz some SVC are using 5W30 during free service. Both are recommended grades, but using 'Throttle' will make the gear shifting smooth. Hope this helps. Cheers and Happy Riding 🤘

I plan to install the RE Electra handlebar. Alternatively, instead of the straight ones, you can also check the inclined risers and reroute the clutch cable from outside the the fork pipe. Inclined risers are more comfortable than the straight ones. Regarding the Electra handlebar..will keep you updated on the same when I take that up.

@@RajkaGarage thank you for the response Raj. I'll install the inclined risers when they're available and let you know how it feels. Warm regards.

@@lakshaysharma7677did u installed sir ? Pls suggest even I’m planning to install

Thanks bro.. is Vinay using the straight ones or the Inclined one. Coz I was very particular about any strain on the cables, brake pipe and harness. And as you can see in the video, all the control cables and harness can easily accommodate the 1" riser. Especially the most critical is the clutch cable as any strain on the clutch cable will lead to clutch burn out and other subsequent issues and as you can see there is no strain on the clutch cable even after the hande is turned full left/right. I do have apprehensions about the inclined risers that they will put a lot of strain on the control cables and also due to the tilt back design of the riser, the handle switches will tilt downward.

@@RajkaGarage - he's using the straight one... I'm leaving vinay's video link here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZX9oCXYFQec.html Check around 5min 30sec mark.

If you notice, his handlebar is a bit more tilted towards the rider, and this probably is adding some strain on the cable when the handle is turned to extreme right. And, as long as there is no movement in the inner cable, it will not create any issue. Also just a practice (due to reliability issues of the clutch cables with the other 2 machine I use, RE and RX) I always change Clutch cables after every monsoon, regardless of the condition of the cable. Smooth clutch operations can save a lot of other things and adds to riding pleasure. Will be doing the same with H'ness too, though with a streched interval.

@@RajkaGarage Noting your experience here🤝👍

@@RajkaGarage thanks bro...

It very comfortable buddy, though the straight ones are only 1.5" in height it improves your reach to the handle. I no longer have the stretch my hands while doing a full turn.

Minor strech is Ok. Also once you sit on the bike the fork pipes will tend to move down giving some more breathing space to brake pipe.

@@RajkaGarage thank you

These were bought from Carbon Racing.

Yes, I installed the riser to make my seating position comfortable. With the stock position I have to reach out to the Handlebar and installing this has helped a great deal.

Sure mate..at the next available opportunity, will surely do.. atleast how to avoid it will surely help a lot of others

@@RajkaGarage waiting for that video mate ❤️

I am about the same size as you buddy with a proportionate upper and lower body. The straight ones are doing the job well for me. The inclined ones are further better but needs re routine of clutch cable and will have some stress on the wiring harness.

@@RajkaGarage thanks sir

The straight ones are doing the job for me. The inclined ones will offer further enhanced posture but at the cost of some stress on the cables and harness.

I would suggest not to do that, as it will make the seat hard on the butts and can lead to other problems like riders butt (constant pain in the buttocks).

@@RajkaGarage thanks sir,

Not sure if anyone is keeping them locally but you can definitely buy from carbon racing website.

Yes they are definitely better than the straight ones, but just make sure you are re routing the clutch cable.

Bro?

Yes, it's very bad, even without rains on highway. That's why I installed aux lamps on bike. Check this out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--swOfiM2dms.html

@@RajkaGarage thnx bro

You got the bike manual? You can adjust the beam actually, I read the manual on first day while bike is being serviced for delivery and got it adjusted right then. Taking delivery after 7pm I rode back home 220kms from Hyderabad. I had no issues 😊. Ps ; I have glasses (eye sight) + i wore helmet with visor on.

Will surely do that buddy.

Inclined riser are even better, but needs re-routing of clutch cable. In my personal view, I don't like that aspect, cables dangling from outside of fork pipes. Also haven't practically seen the strain on other control cables. CR folks says it has no issues. As for me, the straight ones have surely improved my riding posture.

@@RajkaGarage Thanks, Even I'm worried about rerouting of cables to go for inclined raisers as My height is 5.6 (167cm), can standard raisers help for my height? Regarding price, I agree, carbon racing all the items are expensive. Unfortunately no other alternative.

I am of the same height of yours with a balanced length upper and lower body. So the straight ones have definitely helped me a lot. Would have loved to do a test on inclined ones to see the strain on control cables, but CR wants me to invest buying which I feel is not worth. I buy, they benefit.😁

Build quality of the new lots is really questionable. Have seen lot of such issues of late.

@@RajkaGarage thank you for the reply on both my comments on your both videos, came across your channel very recently, and subbed immediately. Really disheartened with Honda's quality, I chose Honda over RE solely because of RE's rampant rust issues, still having to face the same problem. Funny thing is my eight year old Yamaha Gladiator SS125 still has almost zero rust.

This is from Carbon Racing. Product details available in description of the video.

I have done golden wrapping on the fork pipes. These wrap papers are available with people who make radium Number plates.

It was 2.26L in Mumbai in November. I guess it's increased since then by appx 4k

No buddy.. it makes the ride much much better. Handlebar risers makes things comfortable is universal experience. Btw.. recently installed the inclined risers and that has made things further comfortable.
