RLETs will mess with you.
That said, my first one installed in sub-10 seconds. The second, five minutes. You will grow a chest hair.
mine took several hours, and i destroyed one and had to re-order in the process.

Petroleum jelly - the stuff you use to halt battery terminal corrosion, yeah. Just a bit - "s-s-s-s-s-muck" and you are done. Too much, and you might crack a fingernail re-trying.
But when not watching, sometimes they just appear on overnight.
Like we say in the wood bow building craft.. We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

Some daze on the loo feel like that.
Tell us how you installed your RLETs, Ferret.
Well, my battery died for good yesterday (in a gas station, no less), so I guess I'll have to buy a new one and wait on the rubber thingees until my wife forgets that I spent money on the battery. I'm just coming off of the flurry of nickel-and-dime purchases for the bike after buying it, so she's keen to my moto-expenditures at this time.
Luckily, the gas station was at the top of a slight rise, so I was able to get some momentum pushing away from the gas pump, pop the clutch and get home.

This is a skill that's lost on my generation. Numerous times in my life i've had a bike with a dead battery and never ever been able to get this to work. the rear tire just locks up lol. I look forward to never having to try it again.
Blasphemy!!!!
