A Padawan no longer you are. Purr, the Ring does.

P.s. How long did it take to install them all. Don’t lie, cuz we know the reality
Installation time: Roughly fifteen minutes each. Number of times RLET dropped on the floor, bouncing out of sight: twenty.
Performance: Test ride due tomorrow, so I don't know. But I'm expecting a lot. However, to maximize RLET longevity, I've applied glycerine but realize that I should have consulted the Forum first. Have I made a mistake?
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - peterbaron - 09-22-2020
No, you just did excellent... and Lord Popgun Ring/post 1441 has been already updated, so easy with your throttle tomorrow

Note: the Monkey levers are solid and spherical, whereas the RS levers are not only chamfered underneath, but also hollowed. The RLETs don't seem to mind though, they stretch flat over the chamfer.
In the cool evening sun the bikes look so right. I can never go back now, bikes without RLETs suddenly seems unthinkable.
You understand, Olof. Nice work.
The application of glycerine has not, as far as I recall, been mentioned before. Can’t think of any harm. RLETs, like the rest of us, probably respond to a bit of love. Be a bit careful when you start out and report back.

Wooo, that is a darn nice combo photo there Olof.
[url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB is I am sure proud of your application of RLETs. Nicely done!

RLET free at the moment as my RLETS, successfully removed from my 2017 model, are recovering in a quiet dark space from the trauma. The deal on this 2019 model was just too good to miss and come the weekend the RLETS will proudly adorn her levers. I’m aiming for a sub 30 second per lever install this time. The 11th century church makes a fitting background for the new love of my life and I intend to have the Monks from the Monastry who now own the church to give her a blessing next time I visit there.

Frankie, nice bike ...but your statement needs to be backed by a short video clip...are you really that fast with RLET's installation??
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - Olof_imp - 09-22-2020
The need for freshly baked bread for breakfast translated into a nice RLET test ride along the Öresund strait between Denmark and Sweden - thirty rural miles in morning fog. This is my report.
Expectations: High. I took for granted that I would feel a marked difference in the bike – stronger acceleration, better braking, more planted chassis and a general sense of togetherness. Evidence of the missing link no longer missing.
Result: I got the above and more. The bike seems to radiate a new presence, as if continuously rolling out an invisible red carpet ahead. Red lights turn to green, roundabouts clear up, gaps for overtaking emerge and people turn and look as I approach. The cows outside Saxtorp normally ignore all traffic but now gathered eagerly around the bike. Most strange was that the fog this morning, as thick for me as for everyone else, seemed to affect me less – I cruised where others crawled, as if I just knew what lied ahead.
Can I attribute all of this to the RLETs?
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - peterbaron - 09-22-2020
Absolutely Olof, there is a relation....
Great pic, the cow has some kind of yellow RLET too, ask her..
