Motorcycle.com ran a feature on a museum of sorts owned by American Honda (not open to the public) and the #1 coolest thing was a replica of Dick Mann's CB750. Look closely. What's that on the front brake lever?
The RLETs seem to be to heavy for this bike. The front tire is flat.

Indeed, a lot of extra weight and drag.
Just ordered my RLETs. Thinking of using dog drool for installation.
Any break-in instructions??

Dog drool is not a good idea, it will whine, whimper, yelp and bark all night long when you leave it alone out in the garage and your significant other will not like it with your CB sleeping at the end of the bed.
I used Corn Starch to put new grips on my TW. They slid on like schmooie. I bet it would help with RLETs too.
Why not use something that's made for rubber. Squirt Armorall Protectant inside each one and they'll slip right on. Then wipe off the outside with the excess that oozes out and they'll also be nice and shiny!!
alright Joe...looks like it's supposed to now
and another angel gets her wings
to the top for newbies and the uninitiated lol
