It would be easier for potential CB1100 riders to become educated about RLETs if this thread were made "sticky". However, there is something about the journey, the search for an answer, the intellectual curiosity satisfied, that takes a person from being merely a motorcyclist to being a CB1100 Rider. Be it clear, though, that RLETs themselves need not be installed on one's bike in order to achieve symbiosis with this fine machine, but knowledge of their existence, history, and speculated purpose is of paramount importance in the process.

I haven't called them 'rubbers' since and every time I ride the bike, I think of that rally and the effort that a few of you made to get me over from the dark side... er... shiny side.
RE: What's an RLET? - activedirt_imp - 10-05-2015 From ages past the tradition of RLETs was that they must remain as a bride to be (also known as Barkles) and only after leaving this life will they assume the true meaning of Farkles. This secret is keep hidden behind a large blue tarp purchased at the local Walmart. If you sell your CB then your RLETs cannot become Farkles upon your promotion to the glory. RE: What's an RLET? - Headbanger02_imp - 10-05-2015 Curious, has anybody tried or considered dipping there lever tips in placti dip? Of course now, that would devalue the bike immensely since it's not a honda factory part. however the dipping kind does come in red, blue, yellow, white as well as black...

I'll simply take a blade to them as in times past. It must be deftly done, a razor sharp blade, with care. So much as a scratch on the aluminum and the lever must be discarded, replaced with an original.

Dude, of course you an do what you like with your very own lever ends. You can post photos of it on the forum even. However, may I ask—with the greatest respect—that you not raise such heresy in this thread. Redbirds deplorable carryings on are quite enough.

No, I myself, have the factory stock part on my CB and my Valkyrie and my enduro dirt bike and my....wait, no I couldn't put it on my chopper, it has a different style lever, I was thinking along the lines such as CB4ME who likes and has a full on red theme to his bike as an example, I realize that this would/could cause a horrific "I can't believe he said that moment" but sometimes you just have to stick your neck out...
RE: What's an RLET? - fritzwilliger_imp - 10-06-2015 What's an RLET? "Really Long Explanation Topic" For those of us who have 'em, we never go out in public with the balls on the end of our levers uncovered.... LOL fritz |
