Royal Enfield Classic 500, Bullet 500 & Continental GT 535 Hand Grip Set LH + RH – KAL00006/A Genuine OEM

Genuine Royal Enfield Hand Grip Set – KAL00006/A

Refresh both sides of the handlebar with the genuine Royal Enfield hand grip set KAL00006/A. This factory-listed kit combines the right-hand throttle grip component 581098/B with the left-hand rubber hand grip 521186/B. It is intended for motorcycles using this exact pairing, rather than every Royal Enfield with a similar handlebar diameter.

The RH grip operates with the motorcycle’s throttle mechanism; the LH grip is the non-rotating grip. Match both part numbers to the motorcycle’s original handlebar-controls assembly before ordering.

Exact OEM Part Identification

What Is Included – Supplied OEM Kit Breakdown

Both component references are specified for this kit. No bar-end weights, fixing screws, throttle cables, switch assemblies or accessories are listed as separate kit components. Do not assume these are supplied.

Motorcycle Compatibility – Verified Component Pairing

These are evidence-supported applications for the component pairing. Exact VIN/EPC verification is recommended because variants and previously modified motorcycles can use different controls.

Fitment Requiring Additional Verification

Do Not Order Without Confirming Fitment

Do not select this kit solely on the basis of handlebar diameter for Meteor 350, Hunter 350, Classic 350 Reborn, new Bullet 350 J-Series, Himalayan 411/450, Scram, Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Super Meteor 650 or other newer platforms. Those models have separate OEM grip and throttle-control specifications. This listing does not confirm KAL00006/A for those motorcycles.

Why Replace the Grips?

Grips can become hardened, loose, polished, cracked or damaged after years of use. A worn throttle grip can also be associated with binding, but binding may originate from the cables, housing, handlebar, bar-end clearance or throttle mechanism. Diagnose and correct those causes instead of assuming new grips alone will solve a sticking throttle.

This genuine kit is useful when restoring the correct original appearance and feel of a compatible Classic 500, Bullet 500 or Continental GT 535.

Right-Hand vs Left-Hand – Important Difference

581098/B is the RH throttle-side grip component, not a second stationary rubber grip. 521186/B is the LH grip. The two parts are position-specific and should not be swapped. Customers ordering only one side should instead select the relevant individual part number.

Related Part Numbers and Common Confusions

Catalogue replacement references apply to the individual components noted; they do not establish interchangeability of unrelated kits.

Installation and Safety Notes

• Check both grip part numbers, throttle housing and cable layout against the original motorcycle.
• Disconnect and reassemble throttle cables as specified in the correct workshop documentation; avoid forcing the throttle tube.
• After installation, confirm the RH throttle turns freely and snaps fully closed with handlebars straight and turned to both stops.
• Verify clearance at bar-end weights, switch housing and brake lever before riding.
• Ensure the stationary LH rubber grip is securely fitted and cannot rotate or slide.
• If any throttle binding or abnormal idle occurs, do not ride until corrected by a qualified mechanic.

Before You Buy – Avoid Wrong Orders

Verify the exact model generation, original grip numbers, throttle cable style, bar-end arrangement and VIN/EPC. Similar-looking Royal Enfield grips are not necessarily interchangeable. Correctly supplied parts are generally not returnable for wrong selection or a change of mind after processing, in accordance with Under The Hood policies. For damaged, incorrect or missing-item claims, retain a complete parcel unboxing video and report within 24 hours of delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is KAL00006/A a genuine Royal Enfield kit?

Yes. The genuine parts listing identifies KAL00006/A as HAND GRIP SET.

Which parts are specified in the kit?

The supplied breakdown lists 581098/B for RH throttle and 521186/B for LH grip.

Do I receive a right-hand and a left-hand grip?

The OEM kit breakdown lists both a RH and a LH grip component. Confirm the physical sealed packet quantity before dispatch.

Does it fit Classic 500?

The parts catalogue supports the RH and LH component pairing in Classic 500 controls; check the original specification and VIN.

Does it fit Bullet 500?

The parts catalogue supports both component families in Bullet 500; confirm the original control layout.

Does it fit Continental GT 535?

Yes, both component families occur in Continental GT 535 genuine parts diagrams; match the original control assembly.

Does it fit Classic 350 UCE?

Do not assume so. The LH grip is documented on older UCE 350 models, while the RH grip family may differ.

Does it fit Bullet 350?

Not as a blanket claim. Many older Bullet 350 configurations have a different right-hand throttle grip; verify the exact original part number.

Does it fit Hunter 350 or Classic 350 Reborn?

Complete-kit compatibility has not been established for the J-Series bikes; use the exact VIN/EPC parts.

Are bar-end weights included?

No separate bar-end weights appear in the supplied kit breakdown.

Are throttle cables or switchgear included?

No. The supplied breakdown identifies only the two hand-grip components.

Can a new grip cure a sticking throttle?

Not necessarily. Inspect throttle cables, housing, bar-end clearance and routing; a sticking throttle is a safety issue.

Can I use it on an aftermarket handlebar?

Only after confirming the bar, throttle housing, grip fitment and bar-end clearance; matching diameter alone is insufficient.
