Honda Fabric, Grass Bag Part # 81320-VE1-T10

What It Is

The Honda Fabric Grass Bag (Part # 81320-VE1-T10) is an OEM replacement grass collection bag designed for select Honda HRC216 and HRX217 series walk-behind mowers. It attaches to the mower’s rear discharge chute to capture clippings during bagging operations.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower model and deck size. This bag fits Honda HRC216 (all variants) and HRX217 models with 21-inch steel or GCV decks. It does not fit HRX217 with the “HYA” or “VKA” deck suffixes (those use a different bag). Check the model number on your mower’s frame sticker or owner’s manual. The bag’s dimensions are approximately 18" wide, 14" tall, and 10" deep—measure your existing bag or the mounting bracket to confirm. It is an OEM Honda part, not an aftermarket substitute, so compatibility with non-Honda mowers is not guaranteed. The bag uses a fabric construction with a plastic frame and two rear hooks to secure it to the mower’s handlebar bracket.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty fabric with reinforced stitching and a zippered top for emptying. Holds up well to regular use but avoid overfilling (max capacity ~2 bushels) to prevent tearing.
• Installation: Very easy—slide the bag onto the mower’s rear discharge chute until it clicks, then hook the two plastic tabs over the handlebar bracket. No tools required. Takes under 30 seconds.
• Common Gotcha: The bag’s fabric can sag if left in direct sunlight for extended periods; store it in a dry, shaded area. Also, the zipper may jam if grass is wet or packed too tightly—empty it frequently.
• Compatibility Exception: If your HRX217 has a “VKA” or “HYA” deck code (check the sticker under the seat), this bag will not latch properly. You need Honda part #81320-VE1-T20 instead.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Honda HRC216 or HRX217 mower and need a reliable, OEM-quality grass bag replacement, this is the right choice. It’s durable, easy to install, and fits perfectly out of the box—just confirm your deck code first. Avoid if you have a non-Honda mower or a deck code outside the HRC216/HRX217 (pre-2018) family.
