Upgraded Cloth Fabric Grass Bag 81320-VR8-N00 Compatible with Honda HRN216 HRN216VKAA Lawn Mowers

What It Is

This is an upgraded cloth fabric grass collection bag (OEM part number 81320-VR8-N00) designed specifically for Honda HRN216 and HRN216VKAA walk-behind mowers. It replaces the standard plastic or mesh bag to improve grass holding capacity and reduce clogging during heavy cutting.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower is one of these exact Honda models: HRN216, HRN216VKAA, HRN216VKA, or HRN216VLA. This bag fits Honda’s 21-inch steel deck and attaches via the mower’s rear discharge chute and bag bracket. Check that your mower has the standard Honda bag-mounting hooks and that the bag’s frame aligns with them. It is not compatible with earlier HRX or HRR series mowers, or any non-Honda brand. Measure the bag opening (roughly 10 x 6 inches) to ensure it matches your mower’s chute outlet. This is an OEM Honda part, so fitment is exact for listed models—no aftermarket adjustments needed.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Cloth fabric is more durable and breathable than stock plastic bags, reducing grass buildup and allowing better airflow. However, it may wear faster if left in direct sunlight or moisture.
• Installation: Simple—slides onto the mower’s chute and hooks onto the frame. No tools required, but ensure the bag is fully seated to prevent clogs or spillage.
• Capacity: Holds more clippings than standard bags, but avoid overfilling; wet grass can still cause clogging or strain the bag’s seams.
• Common gotcha: The bag’s cloth material can absorb moisture and become heavy, so empty it after each use and store dry to prevent mildew or rot.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a compatible Honda HRN216 mower and want a more durable, higher-capacity bag for frequent mowing, especially in thick or damp grass. It’s a solid upgrade over the stock plastic bag, but skip it if you prefer a rigid bag for easy emptying or if you mow only light, dry lawns—the cloth may be overkill.
