RLETs came in the mail today, and they were on the bike right away.

Which method did you use Ghis spit, wd40, hairspray?

Congrats

And another angel gets her wings.

Alright Ghis! Now you're one of "us"

WD40 worked great!

I remember that article from Cycle World titled "Will the real UJM please stand up?" Now I feel my CB is totally legit. Good to have joined the club!
When the rain stops, I shall take her out, and report any gain of speed, pride, sassiness, or happiness.

Ah, popgun, you've done it again!

If anyone can find where the handshake's been secreted, popgun'll shout you some RLETs.

I like them so much on my CB, that I have been wondering if the Honda Gods will strike me with lighting if I dared putting them on my Triumph as well. I know it's a Honda thing, but what do you think? Have other Japanese brands ever put those on their bikes as well, or it's pretty much just Honda?

Ghis, Ferret has told us in the past that they were used by other Japanese manufacturers back in the day. I just did a bit of a search on Suzuki 2-stroke bikes and the 500 and 250 models from the 70s certainly sported them.

A quick Google search doesn't reveal any on British motorcycles, but there may be no harm in trying.

On the other hand ....

as did the GT 750, 550 and 380 Suzukis

Cool. I had bought four of them, just in case, and after I got the RLETs on the CB, I turned around and the Triumph Scrambler looked so jealous. I have now installed the second set on its levers, and it looks happy. Now I need to order more RLETs, since I no longer have any spares...

Alright Ghis! (my spares came in last Friday)
