1981 Honda CB125S · Grips Buying guide

Compare the ends before choosing your grips

The two grip options share the same replacement references and stated dimensions. Focus on the closed-end versus open-end construction, while checking your present controls if the motorcycle has been modified.

Choose the end construction you want

The closed-end grips have an enclosed end design. The open-end grips are supplied with end plugs. Make that choice deliberately when replacing worn grips, rather than selecting by the shared reference numbers alone and discovering a different end arrangement on arrival.

Compare size before comparing style

Both options use black rubber, a 130 mm length and a stated 7/8-inch handlebar fit. These shared specifications make end construction the useful comparison between them. For changed bars or controls, measure the fitted arrangement before relying on the CB125S application.

Common buying questions

Do both grip styles cover the 1981 CB125S?

Yes. Both list the CB125S for 1978–82 and 1984–85, which includes 1981. They also share the stated 7/8-inch handlebar fit and 130 mm length; check your fitted setup if it has changed.

Why do open- and closed-end grips use the same references?

Both are offered as OEM-type replacements for 53165-390-780 and 53166-390-780. Those shared references do not distinguish the end design, so choose the product explicitly marked open-end or closed-end for the arrangement you want.

Will the open-end grips fit my bar-end accessories?

Open ends alone do not establish accessory compatibility. Compare the accessory’s mounting requirements with your bars and controls before ordering. The grip specification confirms open ends and included plugs, but does not identify compatible accessory models.

Not sure which part you need?

Send your model and year, plus photos of your existing part and any changes to the original setup.
