Handlebar Clamp Head

[cdtelting]

I'm not sure what you would call the top piece that clamps the handlebar. It has the Honda Logo and is one piece for both clamps on the left and right...

Anyway I'm searching for replacements that would leave the bar underneath uncovered so I could mount some switches or other things in the middle. I
bought some raisers with individual top clamps. I tried just using the top clamps without the raisers but the bolt holes don't line up. Anyone know
of anything that does work?

Your best bet is finding a used one on ebay and cut it as desired. "Top Clamp", "Top Bridge", or apparently "Holder Assy Handle Upper" is the official name.
This is from Ron Ayers Honda, best OEM prices I've found so far.

Part number 53130-MGS-D30ZA. Like CamaroEric posted if you could cut the ends off and dress the cuts smooth this might work for you. I have a spare one of these if you are interested. I’m not sure if shipping to SA would be prohibitive.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why isn't anybody suggesting the use of split top handlebar clamps from another Honda model with 22mm bars. The link below is for a 2023 CRF300L. I could very easily be wrong, by why wouldn't these work (part #7)? You could also try walking a dealership showroom floor and trying to find some that look they would work from another bike.

It is possible that the bolt spacing is not the same. I thought of the same thing you did, but when I read the post, he said he tried the top cap from a riser that he bought and it did not fit. I'd guessed that the c to c spacing of the bolts is dependent on whoever designed the item.

Continuing from the suggestion in post #4, I compared my 2012 NC to my 2017 CRF250L. The 250 has individual bar clamps. The bars are the same 7/8 diameter, and the bolt spacing appears the same at approximately 32 mm. So, buying clamps for a CRF250L Rally may be a solution for the OP.
