Compare the bar ends and throttle sleeve before choosing replacement grips for your 1980 CB900C Custom. Both listed styles are black rubber replicas, 130mm long for 7/8-inch handlebars. Open ends with supplied plugs and closed ends support different finishing arrangements.
Keep your classic Honda looking factory-correct with these Honda OEM-Type Rubber Grips. Faithful replicas of the original grips fitted at the factory, in black...
The two grip products share their stated length and handlebar fit. The end design is the key choice, particularly where a previous owner fitted bar-end equipment or changed the throttle assembly.
The grips are 130mm long and intended for 7/8-inch handlebars. Check the fitted bars and sleeve rather than relying only on their original-style look. A changed control housing can affect the available space and the clearance needed for free throttle movement.
Plan the end finish
The open-end option includes end plugs, while the closed-end grips finish the ends themselves. Compare the installed accessories and retain appropriate clearance around the throttle. Follow the correct fitting method for the chosen grips rather than forcing an unsuitable end arrangement.
Buying questions
Will choosing an open end cure a binding throttle?
It may change outer-end clearance, but binding can also come from the throttle sleeve, housing or cable routing. Both grip styles are 130 mm long. Inspect those parts and verify free throttle return through the steering range after fitting.
Are the supplied end plugs mounting hardware for accessories?
The open-end grip set includes plugs for the grip ends. It does not include a verified mounting system for bar-end mirrors or weights. Select those accessories by their own fittings and check that they cannot obstruct the throttle.
Do OEM-type grips mean genuine Honda manufacture?
No. These products are described as replicas of the original style. They offer a factory-style appearance but should not be confused with a genuine Honda-branded part.
