I'm ordering four, one for each cylinder, if two is good, four is gooder.

I know that's right.

I just ordered 4 of the last 5 RLETs from Partzilla. I can hardly wait to see what horsepower increase my CB11 will gain.Love this group!

You guys should be ordering the Kawasaki version of the RLET's (KVRLET's) otherwise you risk the cheap ones falling off in a few months..... Angel


RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - NightRider_imp - 01-29-2015

I know that's right. I'm told they are best used to avoid a drooping Kawasaki gaiter. Makes sense.


RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - Cormanus - 01-29-2015

Yeah, but by some curious cosmic process, KVRLETs work only when installed on a Kawasaki. Put 'em on a Honda and there's instant horsepower and torque loss. If you have gaiters they'll fall like socks to the top of the mudguard. There may also have been instances of tyres perishing.

Stick to genuine Honda part part # 95010-16001.

I know that's right. Honda RLETS for Honda fork Kawasaki gaiter thingies, something...yup..what he said.

I just ordered that last one. One is good enough for me. I can't handle too much of a torque increase.

Yet.

Plus, they turn your levers green.

Curious, Grasshopper. Man who asks What is an RLET? knows much about them.

It's a RLETorical question, Cormanus.

And there I was thinking you were just an excellent writer and not recognising you were an oRLETor.

Apologies, ES.
