PB has one foot in the wine cellar and one foot in the dungeon.

A Padawan Nachodaddy will remain until installed RLETs are.
MiLord, can I be exempt due to post pandemic rubber shortage??Smile
Ahh PB. That is the perfect excuse! Big Grin
Suhawk305 had a little incident enroute to the rally and broke his clutch lever. He said he carried an extra RLET as a “ good luck charm” to ward off these occurrences. The Honda dealer in Marietta got him a new lever with next day service. A-man picked it up and installed the new lever. I followed up with a parking lot RLET install. A little chain lube on the lever ball and 2 minutes in microwave in a cup of water. Good as new! (I’m sure I didn’t come near Nemo’s record)
I wish I had a picture of the temporary lever fix by rickcb….mini vise grips and a zip tie. It worked on a temporary basis until the new lever was installed.[Image: 78b97022324df39d05ba2200dde332c3.jpg]

Translation: "chain lube" --> petroleum jelly.
