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.

LOL, good point!
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - Chapomis_imp - 08-29-2015
I used Corn Starch to put new grips on my TW. They slid on like schmooie. I bet it would help with RLETs too.
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - BestStandard_imp - 08-29-2015
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!!
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - curlyjoe - 09-04-2015
RLETs installed!
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - the Ferret - 09-04-2015
