Game-Changing HONDA Deflectors for ADV 350 Owners [QuickTest#44]

[@RocketMan_Moto]

The part number of the deflectors is in the video description😊

[@Northernbiker64]

Even though this isn’t a bike a would consider, great to see another Rocketman video!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks. Always a bit quiet between the November shows (EICMA, Motorcycle Live…) and January, when the new bikes begin to arrive in dealers. Happy Christmas👍😊

[@steveparish9210]

Yep always good to hear from rocketman 😊

[@onthepegs]

In my book they should have sent you this part for free with a note that says "sorry, we f___ed up".

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Haha, I can but dream🫤

[@Tim955w]

Thanks for the information, i have just ordered some in the UK (£60 here), this should make a lot of difference to my chilly legs! Best wishes for 2025.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks, Tim. I was out on the scooter again this morning and could definitely feel the deflectors doing their thing in the freezing (for us!) 18-degree temperatures😬

[@Tim955w]

@@RocketMan_Moto Not jealous at all, its a tropical 6°C here.

[@jeffreymoorbeck2752]

Its always nice when a relatively inexpensive accessory works as designed. Happy Holidays, RM!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Yes, the most satisfying mods are the cheap/free ones. Feliz Natal to you, too😊

[@davidz8]

The scooter looks a great choice in the Algarve, great to see another video before Christmas, have a good one.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks, David. You too👍😊

[@bikersquest]

Nice, the little gap is probably to pressurise the air flowing through and therefore deflecting it more like the giving airflow screens do

[@RocketMan_Moto]

You could well be right👍😊

[@Wanderhuren]

Great ! I will drive to Norway, next year and the Deflectors will be very usefull for this ride. Thank you for showing us

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Glad you found it useful👍😊

[@dgomes265]

Must find one of these 350’s for my use on S. Miguel during my extended stays.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

They’re not sexy, but boy are they useful😊

[@mpampito]

Thank you Rocketman,I'm going to buy them, after watching you video 😊

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Glad you found the video useful. Enjoy the deflectors👍😊

[@hamsterclamper]

These look really useful. Thanks for the heads up and happy Christmas to you and mrs rm

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks. You too👍😊

[@SwissOliver]

Hi. I also have them on my 2025. It’s really useful.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Good to hear!👍😊

[@mickleblade]

Happy Christmas RM!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks. You too👍😊

[@tedwitus]

Thanks RocketMan ...Please American Honda bring this bike to the U.S. !!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

👍😊

[@fantomas1498]

I will first buy the deflectors and then somwhere in the future the adv350.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Sounds like a plan👍😊

[@puigas1434]

Merci pour l' information. J'ai commandé les déflecteurs. Je partage votre avis sur le peu de nouveauté de ce modèle 2025. Je garde mon 2022 en attendant mieux... Bonne route.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

👍😊

[@spudedwards5129]

Deflectors not avaliable in the UK at the moment☹. I would add to your list of requirments before I would up grade to a new ADV 350. Get rid of the keyless system, I had my one changed in less than a year under warrenty and if I had to pay for it the dealer said it would be close to £1900 with parts an labour. At the moment if it should stop working again and I would have to pay, my scooter would be a rightoff. SYM and Kymco now have on their new large scooters a Keyless system with an emergancy key that is built into the key fob that can be used in the event that the system can't read the fob and can be used instead of the fob if you want.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Yes, keyless can be a liability. No problems with mine so far (touch wood…), but I do have to change the battery in the key every 6 months or so🙄

[@Tim955w]

Just ordered some, they are not priced on Honda's UK site yet but being delivered from European stock, the price is £60. Sorry to hear about your keyless problem, my bike is 3 years old without problems so far (twice thought i had issues, once i had inadvertently switched the remote off, and when new i didn't realise that you have to squeeze the brake lever rather hard for the system to start the bike). Fingers crossed your new system stays reliable.

[@Batman-m8r]

This is a great solution to one of the ADV350's shortcomings. I sold my ADV 350 last year because of this shortcoming and the annoying noise from the transmission.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Yes, they’ve sorted the wind now, but the transmission noise is still just as annoying🙁

[@DavidBangk]

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year from Bangkok.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks, David. You too👍😊

[@motorcycle-man]

For what it's worth, I also really like the way it looks.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Yes, they look ok

[@Zeprius]

Thanks for this one RM. Unrelated: is there any chance for you to test the Suzuki GSX S1000 GX? I’m interested about your opinion. Thanks!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I’ll see what I can do😊

[@CarlosSanchez-cf7ik]

What about the passenger?? Protection for him also?

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Mrs RM says she hasn’t really noticed much difference, but her legs are protected by mine anyway

[@bmp72]

How does the adv350 compare to the sh350 ? Is the suspension more comfortable ? Marginally or significantly?

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I haven’t ridden the SH. The ADV’s suspension is quite crashy, though🙁

[@gorannipsjo7081]

Hi, I heard rumours about a 500cc Honda scooter. Have you heard anything?

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I heard that too a few months ago, but so far nothing. I wish they would give us a 500 with around 45-50hp🤞

[@drdoolittle5724]

................nice 'extra', had my ADV still been with me i would have followed your actions, thank you for the tip! However, even though i lined the outside of the under seat box with noise attenuating foam and wrapped the exhaust in tape, the general noise so got to me it had to go! Nicely replaced though by a burbling in-line 650 twin which unlike the ADV, can seriously shock with acceleration noise but then cruise at 70 at a purr!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I agree, it makes a horrid noise. Very practical, though, and the perfect complement to the Tiger 900😊

[@alangilbert6544]

Merry x rocket

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks. You too👍😊

[@Itsallgoinghoff]

Your voice...Are you the "Pegi 18" guy?

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Don't think so ;)

[@macraemorse]

I have a PCX from the same vintage and I have the same gripe. I notice in the 2025 model they have reduced how much this is cut out. I was thinking exactly about something like this on my early morning drive to Valencia last week. If anyone has a good website for Honda parts, please reply.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

👍😊

[@papertiger795]

I want an ADV 350, but all we're allowed here in the States is a 160. Why does Honda (wait, no... All the Japanese manufacturers) hate us over here? We like buying cool things too. And we like bikes that aren't black on black as well. The Germans and Austrians dont seem to mind giving us options... It can be done.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

It must be frustrating, but on the upside cars & bikes (and the fuel to run them) are MUCH cheaper than here in Europe😊

[@papertiger795]

@RocketMan_Moto very true. For that I'm grateful. But maybe you should get the 160, and we get the 350 then...

[@skyfall7948]

Thank you very much for this helpful video! Could you please tell us the Honda part number of this deflectors? Thanks and happy Christmas

Does it actually get “chilly” in the Algave?? 😆

Anything under 20 degrees C is chilly for me now😉

Bu aksesuarın opsiyonel olması çok saçma. Madem orada bir eksik vardı neden o parça oraya takılıp satılmıyor.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I hear you, but at least Honda has admitted they got the original design wrong😉

[@lipsee100]

I must buy a 3D printer.

Lol, that’s one alternative👍
