The Honda 54443-VR8-N00ZA is a genuine OEM Clutch Grip Upper (Grip Gray) designed for the HRN216 lawn mower. As a direct Honda OEM component, this grip is manufactured to the exact dimensions and finish of the original part it replaces. This part is color-coded Grip Gray — confirm that this color matches your existing grip before ordering, as the HRN216 may be fitted with more than one grip color variant across its production run. Buyers can cross-reference part number 54443-VR8-N00ZA against their mower's serial number in the fitment table to confirm the correct variant.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — sourced directly from Honda, this grip matches the original in shape, texture, and color so the handle feels exactly as designed when the clutch lever is engaged.
- Color Variant Accuracy — the Grip Gray designation is a specific variant identifier; verifying your mower's grip color before purchase ensures you receive the correct replacement and avoid a return.
- Direct HRN216 Fitment — engineered specifically for the HRN216 lawn mower; check your unit's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the right variant for your machine.
- Restores Proper Clutch Feel — a cracked, torn, or hardened upper grip makes the clutch lever uncomfortable and difficult to actuate cleanly; replacing it brings the control feel back to as-built condition.
The upper clutch grip sits at the top of the operator handle on the HRN216 lawn mower, forming the hand-contact surface of the blade or drive clutch lever assembly. The rider squeezes this grip against the handlebar to engage the clutch, so its condition directly affects how comfortably and consistently the operator can control the mower. When the grip cracks, compresses, or deteriorates, it becomes slippery or uncomfortable to hold, making it harder to maintain steady clutch engagement during a mowing pass.
