1981 Honda CB900C Custom Open & Closed-End Grips

Choose the grip end treatment after checking the bar ends on your 1981 CB900C Custom. Both black replica styles are 130mm long for 7/8-inch handlebars. Open ends come with plugs, while closed ends use a different finish, so compare any existing weights or other bar-end equipment.

1981 Honda CB900C Custom · Open & Closed-End Grips Buying guide

Choose end treatment after measuring the grip space

The basic length and bar fit are shared by both choices. The difference is how the ends are finished, which matters when checking throttle clearance and the equipment fitted beyond the grips.

Compare length and sleeve fit before fitting

The 130mm specification describes grip length, while 7/8-inch identifies the stated handlebar application. Compare the fitted bars and throttle sleeve before purchase. A changed control housing can affect the space available, even when the bar diameter is unchanged.

Retain appropriate clearance at the end

The open-end product supplies separate plugs; the closed-end style does not use that same end arrangement. Check the accessories and sleeve movement before installation. Follow the chosen grip’s fitting method rather than forcing a conflicting combination of grip end and bar hardware.

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.

Will an original-style look establish fit on custom controls?

No. Match the stated dimensions and check the actual throttle sleeve and housing. Changed controls need their own clearance and fit assessment before selecting the grips.

Not sure which part you need?

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