Replacing worn grips on a 1982 CB900F Supersport is easier to plan when the old length and bar-end arrangement are known. Compare the two 130mm rubber replica options, then check the throttle-side equipment and any accessories before deciding which set to buy.
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 closed- and open-end choices share their black rubber material and listed bar size. The open-end package adds plugs, while the closed-end style provides a different finish without separate end openings.
Each option is specified at 130mm. Compare that length with the space available on the fitted controls rather than assuming the visible worn rubber tells the whole story. Follow suitable fitting instructions and check the throttle arrangement instead of compensating for a mismatch by guesswork.
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.
