HRN216 GRASS BAG FRAME 81330-VR8-N00, Replacement for HONDA OEM, BLACK

What It Is

This is the OEM grass bag frame (part number 81330-VR8-N00) for Honda HRN216 self-propelled mowers. It holds the grass bag open and attaches to the mower’s rear discharge chute, ensuring clippings collect properly without sagging or collapsing.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Direct fit for: Honda HRN216VKA, HRN216VLA, HRN216VYA, and HRN216VSA models (all with 21-inch decks). Does not fit older HR215 or HRX series.
• Check your mower’s model number – look on the engine cowl or under the rear flap. The frame only works with HRN216 decks that have the matching rear bag mount brackets.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine Honda, so no adapter or modification needed. Aftermarket frames may save money but often flex or rust faster.
• Measurements: Frame is roughly 22 x 14 x 10 inches. Confirm your grass bag (sold separately) has the standard HRN216 attachment hooks – the frame uses top and side clips, not a single center latch.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Thick steel with powder-coat finish – resists rust better than most aftermarket frames. The black coating holds up well to moisture and UV.
• Installation: Tool-free – slides onto the mower’s rear hooks in under 2 minutes. No bolts or adjustments needed.
• Common gotcha: The frame does not include the grass bag (part 81350-VR8-N00) or the bag strap. If your bag is torn or missing, buy the bag separately.
• Weight: About 3.5 lbs – light enough to handle easily, but sturdy enough to hold a full bag without bending.

Should You Buy It

If you have an HRN216 and need a factory-fit, durable frame that won’t warp or break mid-season, this is the right choice. The price is higher than generic options, but you get exact fitment and long-term reliability. Skip it if you’re on a tight budget or your mower is an older Honda model – in those cases, measure first to avoid returns.
