1978 Honda CB400A · Handlebar grips Buying guide

Choose the grip ends to suit the fitted handlebars

The meaningful choice here is the end treatment, with the same stated length and bar application. Check the throttle-side fit and surrounding controls, especially where a previous owner has changed the handlebars.

Choose replica grips with the right finish at the ends

Both options are black rubber OEM-style replicas. The closed-end version finishes the bar with the grip itself; the open-end version supplies separate plugs. Decide which arrangement suits the motorcycle before ordering, rather than cutting or modifying a new grip to compensate for the wrong choice.

Check the controls as well as the bars

The throttle sleeve and available grip area matter when comparing the 130 mm length. Keep sufficient clearance for the controls and any bar-end accessory, and verify free throttle operation after installation using the service guidance. On the CB400A, the left lever belongs to the parking brake.

Handlebar grips buying questions

Are the open-end grips supplied with plugs?

Yes. The open-end product explicitly includes end plugs. Check the mounting arrangement separately if you plan to use bar-end mirrors or weights; the included plugs do not establish compatibility with a particular accessory.

Are these original Honda parts or reproductions?

They are factory-style replicas, with references 53165-390-780 and 53166-390-780. Both list the 1978 CB400A and have a stated 130 mm length. They are not described here as genuine Honda manufacture.

Will they fit if my motorcycle has different handlebars?

Check the 7/8-inch bar application, usable grip length and throttle sleeve. Also compare clearance around the switches and bar ends. The original-model fitment listing does not verify every aftermarket handlebar and throttle combination.

Not sure which part you need?

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