1985 Honda CB700SC · Open & Closed-End Grips Buying guide
The old grips and controls show the space available. Use that comparison to select a 130 mm replacement, then decide how the ends work with existing bar-end fittings or supplied plugs.
Both choices are black rubber replicas for 7/8-inch handlebars. The open-end version includes plugs, while the other has closed ends. Check the available length and the end arrangement together rather than choosing a style that interferes with the throttle or existing fittings.
A grip refresh is an opportunity to check the sleeve and nearby control housing. If the throttle binds, identify the cause before fitting new rubber. Follow the installation guidance and check the complete control movement afterward so the replacement does not leave an underlying problem unnoticed.
It may change end clearance, but binding can also involve the sleeve, housing or cable routing. Inspect those separately and verify free throttle movement after fitting. Both listed grip styles are 130 mm long, so one does not solve a length mismatch by itself.
The open-end grip listing includes end plugs, not an accessory mounting kit. Compare any mirror or weight’s own fittings and throttle clearance before using it with the open-ended grips.
Not by themselves. Inspect the sleeve, housing and cables for the source of binding, then verify smooth return after the grip and control work is complete.
