Hey Guys. I always wasn't a fan of the engine side covers for the cb350f, maybe because I felt the bike had emblem overkill! The two side covers, both sides of the tank, seat, stator cover, points covers, instrument panel, etc!! We get it, it's a Honda :)

So I decided to get some new engine covers without logos.  Now I have seen these aluminums pop up on ebay from time to time. With time more rarely.



I was never a huge fan of them, especially the points cover how it stuck way out. I liked how the original one was chrome which blended well with the rest of the chrome items on the bike.

Then there was this stator cover that I could never find in the states



It is probably the most flush/stock looking stator finned cover for the CB that I have found without saying HONDA.  It did say HM in the middle but thats ok.  Too bad I have never seen one for sale or on a cb350f in the states.

Where am I going with this you say.  Well I found/bought some covers still in the package for the CB350f and apparently the CB500 for $35 bucks.  Hopefully I got a good deal.  So I thought I would share some photos just because I personally have never seen finned chrome covers for the CB350F.  They fit perfectly.

Gotta Love those old dusty dirty stockroom parts



Cut the plastic off the package and this is how they were no cleanup necessary

Stator cover on bike ( Yes I know I need to get slightly longer screws) Everything lines up perfectly though

So I just thought I would show these old stock chrome side covers off to you guys just because I have never seen chrome finned side covers for the CB350F.  Also there might be someone out there that could be looking for them and just to tell you that they exist!


Cheers Guys
