The Honda 17856-VF9-V31 Left Throttle Lever Grip is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HHT31, HHT35, and UMK431 trimmers. As a direct OEM replacement, this grip is manufactured to Honda's original design, ensuring it matches the geometry and feel of the part it replaces. Verify your trimmer's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda updates part numbers at production breaks — part number 17856-VF9-V31 applies to specific serial ranges within each model.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Throttle Control Fit — sourced directly from Honda, this grip matches the original contour and control engagement of the throttle lever assembly, so operator input translates cleanly to engine response.
- Covers Three Trimmer Models — fits the HHT31, HHT35, and UMK431 trimmers, including the corresponding model variants within each line.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda supersedes trimmer components at defined production points; confirm your serial number against the fitment table to ensure this is the correct grip for your unit.
- Restore Positive Throttle Feel — a worn or cracked throttle lever grip makes precise speed control difficult and accelerates wear on the lever mechanism beneath it; replacing it restores confident, accurate throttle operation.
The left throttle lever grip is the operator's primary interface with the trimmer's throttle control. It sits over the throttle lever on the handlebar and gives the operator a secure, comfortable surface to actuate the throttle and manage engine speed. When the grip cracks, tears, or becomes loose, throttle control becomes imprecise and the lever itself is left exposed to damage — replacing it promptly keeps the control assembly working as intended and restores the tactile feedback the operator relies on during use.
