1981 Honda CB900F Replacement Rubber Grips

Worn or damaged grips are a small purchase where length and end style still matter. For the 1981 CB900F Supersport, compare the 130mm closed-end replicas with the open-end version and its included plugs, keeping the fitted controls in mind.

1981 Honda CB900F Supersport · Grips Buying guide

Check the small details before replacing the rubber

These two grip choices share black rubber construction and the same stated length. Compare how the ends finish, then make sure the replacement can work with your existing bar, throttle sleeve and control positions.

Match length without shifting the controls by guesswork

The grip listings specify a 130mm length and 7/8-inch handlebar fit. Check the old grip, throttle sleeve and available space before purchase. Follow the appropriate fitting instructions rather than assuming that moving controls will compensate for a mismatched grip.

Finish with a throttle-return check

A replacement grip must not rub the switch housing or bar-end hardware. Check that the throttle opens and returns freely with the bars straight and at both steering extremes after installation. If it binds, inspect grip placement, sleeve condition and cable routing before riding.

Buying questions

Why does the throttle stick after a grip change?

Look for the grip rubbing the switch housing or bar end, a damaged sleeve or displaced cables. Do not ride until the throttle returns freely throughout the steering range. Moving controls or trimming parts by guesswork can conceal an incorrect fit.

Can I keep bar-end weights with the open-end grips?

Check the weight’s mounting method and clearance with the rotating throttle sleeve. An open grip provides an opening but does not verify the accessory fit. Use the plugs only where the chosen installation calls for them.

Will new grips repair a cracked throttle sleeve?

No. Inspect the sleeve before fitting fresh rubber and replace a damaged control component with the correct part. Also check that the available sleeve length and control spacing suit the 130mm grip rather than stretching the rubber to cover a mismatch.
