If not, RLETs can find their way to the dustbin of history. Try to imagine a world without RLETs in the future.
Rather than to criticize poor Ferret, you should praise him for his actions and leadership in the mission to keep the RLETed CB alive for all of the future generations!
May the RLETs be with us, always!!!
also got break/clutch lever rubbers great addition to the bike, really do enhance the retro look, I found if you manipulate the rubber for 10 minutes to soften it up and put a little oil inside the ball they pop on quiet easily, took me about 10 minutes to fit once rubber had softened up a bit.
Good for you, Phil. The Ferret will be along with the wings in due course.
A Padawan no longer you are.
Ferret will show you the secret handshake at the next rally.

and another angel gets her wings thanks to Phil.
SMH....Sorry. but having a dealership install your RLETs just ain't right....
I know CVW. But the dealer did not charge me for the installation. Saved me additional pain in my arthritic hands and wrists! "Desperate times calls for desperate measures!"

I thought they were installed at the factory on the original bikes from the 70s?
They were .... Millions of Honda CB's left the factory with them installed by professionally trained Rlet installers. It was a much sought after position on the assembly line, and only the quicket, most efficient installer got the job. They were hero's to the other assembly line workers.

Plus they got a 10 minute break every hour to rejuvenate their spit!!!
