1986 Honda CB450SC Nighthawk · Handlebar Buying guide

Compare the fitted assembly with the replacement specification

The usable choices are black rubber OEM-type replicas measuring 130mm long for 7/8-inch handlebars. Both replace Honda references 53165-390-780 and 53166-390-780. Choose the closed-end finish or the open-end design with included plugs after checking the arrangement actually fitted to the motorcycle.

Treat the Honda numbers as replacement references

The two references identify the intended replacement application; they do not establish the contents of an order. These grips are described as OEM-type replicas. If buying for both sides, obtain the supplier’s confirmation of grip count and sides supplied rather than calculating quantity from the reference list.

Resolve an altered bar-end arrangement before purchasing

A fitted mirror, weight or other end attachment introduces its own mounting requirements. The open-end grip listing does not specify accessory compatibility or plug attachment dimensions. Compare those requirements with the actual bars and ask for the missing specifications before choosing the finish.

Ordering questions

Can I rely on the Honda references after changing the handlebar or controls?

Use 53165-390-780 and 53166-390-780 to identify the intended replacement, then measure the altered assembly. These grips specify 7/8-inch bars and 130mm length. Replacement references alone cannot establish clearance or size compatibility with changed controls.

What should I confirm when replacing the throttle and left-hand grips together?

Ask for the number of grips and the side contents supplied under the product order. Neither listing explicitly provides that detail. Confirm it before setting quantity; two replacement references do not establish that both required grips are included.

How should I choose a grip finish around an existing bar-end accessory?

Check the accessory’s attachment arrangement and request the relevant grip and plug fit details. The open-end design includes plugs, but their dimensions and accessory compatibility are unspecified. Choose the finish only after those requirements are resolved for the fitted bars.
