Part # 95010-16001. quantity 2. They were $ 2.99 ea at my dealer. Probably a few cents less at yours.
Yea a lot of the early Hondas from 64 up thru the late 70 s had them. I always thought they were a nice touch.
Okay, I'm stumped...how did you get those on? I got a pair and cannot get them on...grrrr.

Lol dealer put them on for me, but try squirting some contact cleaner in there and pushing them on. I replaced them years ago, but dont remember the trick. Maybe compressed air?

Well tore one already...LOL. Might need to just have the dealership put it on...ugh.

Dangergrl, i'll stop at the dealer tomorrow and ask how they did it.

Dangergirl, called the shop...they said let them warm up in the sun a bit and then spray armor-all on ball and inside rubber and one person pull and a second person push lol

I couldn't stand it so I ordered a pair too, today. Now I know the trick for install! Thanks ferret and oldyaler
Instead of the sun, I'll just heat them with a heat gun or hair dryer.

Mine came today. Gave up trying to put them on for now. Will try the heat trick tomorrow.
RE: Grips came in today - Lord Popgun - 05-18-2013
I heated mine in the sun (hey, it was hot that day!) Then used WD-40. I had to use a rag or paper towel to get a grip on them as they are slippery when lubed, and then just worried them on. After they sit overnight they tighten right up as WD will tack up.
