1978 Honda CB550K · Grips Buying guide

Choose the grip end style after checking the fitted controls

The difference here is the end treatment, rather than a listed change in grip length. Use the same 130mm specification to compare both choices with the actual space on the motorcycle.

Match the grip to the available space

Both descriptions specify 130mm grips for 7/8-inch handlebars. Compare the existing grips, throttle tube and nearby control placement before ordering, especially after a bar change. A matching model application does not tell you how much usable grip area remains in a modified control arrangement.

Treat open ends as a choice, not an accessory guarantee

The open version includes end plugs, while the other listing describes closed grip ends. Choose around the bar-end equipment already fitted or planned. Included plugs do not establish compatibility with a separate mirror or weight, and neither listing describes a complete control or handlebar assembly.

Common buying questions

Do the two grip styles have different stated lengths?

Both descriptions specify 130mm length and a 7/8-inch handlebar application. The stated difference is closed ends versus open ends with included plugs. Compare the available grip area before choosing either style.

Will open ends guarantee bar-end mirror compatibility?

The listing describes open ends and supplied plugs, rather than a particular mirror fitting. Check the planned mirror, the actual bar-end arrangement and the grip length separately before assuming the components work together.

Are the grips sold as genuine Honda replacements?

The descriptions call them stock-type replicas and list Honda reference numbers. Treat those references as comparison information, rather than a claim of genuine Honda branding; check the dimensions and end treatment against the fitted parts.
