Royal Enfield Bullet 350 UCE, Electra 350 & Bullet 500 Pillion Holding Tube Kit – KAU00002/A Genuine OEM

Restore the original rear passenger holding handle on older Royal Enfield Bullet and Electra motorcycles. This genuine Royal Enfield pillion holder kit, KAU00002/A, is built around the OEM pillion holding tube 141654/1 and matching M6 fastening references. It is for the older double-seat Bullet/Electra seat arrangement, not a universal motorcycle grab rail.

The pillion holding tube is also called a pillion grab handle, rear passenger holding tube, seat grab rail or rear seat handle. Check the exact seat, mounting points and existing part numbers before ordering: model names alone do not prove a particular bike has the required dual-seat arrangement.

Part identification

OEM kit component references

The supplied manufacturer kit breakdown lists the holding tube and two fastening references. It does not specify the number of bolts or nuts supplied in a sealed kit. The quantity shown in motorcycle EPC diagrams describes installation requirements and must not be confused with the retail pack quantity.

Motorcycle compatibility and evidence

Application distinction: The named motorcycle families are supported through their OEM seat-component references, but the exact KAU00002/A kit as a sealed commercial unit has not been independently documented for every year, region and seat option. Match the kit parts to your motorcycle EPC before purchase.

Not suitable / do not assume fitment

Do not order for the new Bullet 350 J-Series (2023-on), Classic 350 Reborn/J-Series, Meteor 350, Hunter 350 or Classic 650 merely because the motorcycle has a pillion seat. Classic 350/500 UCE use other pillion holder arrangements in relevant catalogues; their use of this complete kit is not confirmed. This product is not a pillion seat, backrest, luggage carrier, rear rack or universal U-shaped handle.

What this kit does

The original pillion holding tube provides the passenger with the factory-designed handhold associated with the compatible dual-seat assembly. The listed fixing references relate to the seat-mounted installation. Replace the tube if it is damaged, bent, missing or corroded after confirming the frame/seat mounts are sound. Do not use the tube as a lifting point or assume a luggage load rating.

What is supplied

1 × genuine Royal Enfield KAU00002/A pillion holder kit, supplied under the kit SKU. Manufacturer breakdown identifies pillion holding tube 141654/1, flanged bolt 586042/A and locking nut 570702/A. Verify the exact sealed pack quantities before purchase; no seat, seat pan, upholstery, rack, backrest, or other fasteners are represented as included.

Installation and inspection

Inspect the pillion-seat carrier/mounting bosses and determine whether the existing motorcycle uses the 141654/1 holding tube. Match fixing length, thread and nut style to the correct OEM assembly. Install according to the applicable Royal Enfield workshop manual; no torque specification is stated here because the exact model-year service value has not been verified. Have a qualified technician check loose, damaged, stripped or corroded mountings.

Before you buy

Compare all three numbers with your existing assembly or dealer EPC and check the year, model and seat configuration. A component appearing on two models does not guarantee the entire kit or every fitting is identical. For wrong/damaged/missing-item claims, retain the packaging and provide a complete uninterrupted unboxing video; contact Under The Hood within 24 hours of delivery. Correctly supplied parts are not generally returnable for wrong selection, incompatible modifications or change of mind, subject to applicable law and store policy.

Frequently asked questions

Will this fit a Bullet 350 UCE?

The factory UCE Bullet 350 dual-seat catalogue lists 141654/1 and 586042/A. Verify your seat assembly and the complete kit fittings through VIN/EPC before ordering.

Can I fit it to an Electra 350 UCE?

The Electra 350 UCE seat parts catalogue also lists the same tube and bolt. Verify the existing seat and mounting configuration; not every Electra variant is identical.

Is it for Bullet 500 B5?

Bullet 500 seat catalogues support the pillion-handle family and 570702/A nut. Match the handle revision and exact OEM seat diagram.

Will it fit the 2023-on New Bullet 350?

No fitment is established for the J-Series New Bullet 350; do not order solely because the model is called Bullet.

Will it fit Classic 350 or Classic 500?

The Classic pillion handle kit KAU00003/A is a distinct product with a different holding handle; this kit is not established as a replacement.

Is this a pair of handles?

No pair is claimed. The provided kit breakdown lists a pillion holding tube and two types of fasteners; sealed pack counts still need confirmation.

How many bolts and nuts are included?

The available kit breakdown does not state their retail quantities. Confirm the sealed kit inventory before dispatch or purchase.

Does this include a pillion seat or backrest?

No. Neither a seat nor a backrest appears in the manufacturer breakdown.

Is 141654 the same as 141654/1?

Catalogue references include both forms in different generations. Do not assume interchangeability without an explicit OEM revision/supersession reference for your VIN.

Can the handle be used as a luggage rack?

No luggage-carrying function or load capacity has been verified. Use only as intended by the motorcycle manufacturer.

Does it include mounting rubber or washers?

Rubber supports, washers and other parts are not listed in this kit breakdown and should not be assumed included.

How can I avoid ordering the wrong part?

Send your VIN, model year, photograph of the seat underside and existing handle part number to confirm fitment before opening or installation.
