RE: performance drop - fixed - GoldOxide_imp - 12-06-2018
Jeez-uz. Now I am kinda curious.
Would dipping each lever end into a liquid rubber compound qualify as a reasonable facsimile?

So in late January I am going to have a situation. A quandary perhaps. Do I put one RLET on my new Super Cub 125? Why one? It has an auto clutch so no clutch lever. Will I screw up the symmetry?
RE: performance drop - fixed - the Ferret - 12-07-2018
that is a dilemma. Neat scoot though.
Edit:
Ok I couldn't find any pics of C50's with a Rlet, but did find them on C70's and C90's. Just one r/h side. So I'd say entirely appropriate to have a single Rlet when there is only 1 blade.

I think you should just add a fake clutch lever on the left side and add 2 RLETs

Ole, I just consulted with my Dynamics textbook. To balance All forces around the Cub, you need to install a “fake “or “non-functional” RLETed clutch lever on the left handlebar, along with a RLET on the brake lever. These unequal forces are amplified at Interstate Highway speeds. If you don’t believe me, then ask yourself this question: would you fly in an airplane with one wing shorter than the other?
Who knows, JC Whitney of Chicago may sell them since they used to sell things like fake CB antennas, spinning mag-like wheel covers, etc. You may be able to find a lever with a RLET already on it.
Nice Cub!
Edit, I just noticed that MTC beat me to this suggestion. Therefore, we have a quorum with this suggestion.

Great idea on the fake clutch lever
I’m on it,,,,

The above statement verifies that Ole is indeed retired.
RE: performance drop - fixed - Cormanus - 12-07-2018
Nah. If Honda reckons it’s OK to send a Super Cub our the door with only one lever, then one RLET is enough. It’s not about symmetry; it’s about the knob.
