CB350F headlight diameter
« on: December 30, 2023, 10:36:49 PM »
Evening - I’m after some advice from a CB350F owner.

I recently sold a NOS headlight ring on eBay, as per the part number on the bag it came in: 33101-333-670

Link to item I sold:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145475701820?hash=item21df070c3c:g:iywAAOSwR4xla3CY&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwB3Qeu5nFzWfA7%2F3Nn5qBm0vKpJu%2F6yOsKAYa83BXCbIx0c1DtFMppxLndlTOWWwMzWNn9DFhWsMLxEQNqh0aL3WmwAydJ8eGyOfdGHXYlEPM99xBeCdIO5P1YG5uLapn0P7Qsb9QPVfetPQZFZWVdxLL%2FshZqNs6KBrMCQsDweSPrZlypjT%2Bh4PFuGTbu70BidrjiPIR%2B%2FV9ATJNdrAFVscicP7VaWraQWae%2B%2FGjawWyvpstkAMlX9lX93Sfm3PsA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4bd8M2XYw

Link to cmsnl:

https://www.cmsnl.com/products/rim-head-light_33101333670/

The buyer has received the item (overseas) and is saying it’s the wrong diameter and isn’t correct?

I’m not very familiar with the CB350F, and don’t have one here to compare.

Can anyone advise if the buyer is correct or if what I’ve sold is correct?

I want to do the right thing by the buyer as this wasn’t cheap and want to be sure if I’ve mis-sold here, but also want to protect myself.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

James

If I remember correctly the headlight was a sealed beam unit at approx 5¾", so the smaller one in the photos looks correct James. I know they are dinky. Hopefully someone will be able to measure one for you.

Notice what's different between the CMS one and yours James? no headlight adjuster screw hole in the CMS one, yours has one. I suspect some has mislabeled it, no number tag in the bag?

If he's in Italy or G or ED markets he may have this one https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb350f-four-italy_model14636/rim-head-light_33101283601/ certainly looks like the one he has to me.

No I was wrong, he's got the USA version of the headlight rim, yours is clearly mislabeled I'm afraid.

Thanks for all the feedback looks like I’ve sold the wrong item, so I’ll have to refund.
