Rubber Lever End Thingies - Cormanus - 03-31-2014
In my opinion this important topic deserves a thread of its own.
Inspired by Ferret and others, I decided that the CB1100 as shipped was incomplete without the little rubber lever end thingies so, armed with the part number
(Part # 95010-16001 qty1 per package.), I went along to a Honda dealer in Brisbane when I was visiting a fortnight or so ago. I was told they'd have to be imported.
Well, they were, and they arrived yesterday when, by a stroke of fortune, I was in Brisbane again so I went and picked them up.
Those levers look pretty bare don't they?

They were truly awful to put on. Good trick getting your dealer to do it, Ferret. I beat them into submission by giving them a bath in near boiling water, squirting a dribble of WD40 onto the knob and then whipping them on while they were hot and supple.
I'm now a very happy camper.

That fight to get them on is part of the initiation to "our thing"

I'll have to go for a ride in a minute. I just know it will ride better with them there.

I'm not quite sure why, but your post reminded me of a certain scene in the original version of "Total Recall"...
(I'll post the pic small to avoid inadvertently grossing anybody out.)

Looking good. I remember putting them on my hondas when I was a kid. Had just as much trouble installing them now and I did back then. But they do make the bike look better. Thanks to the ferret for this idea.
Ride safe my friend

Funny you should say that. Sort of reminded me of an incident that happened while having a little R and R in Saigon back in '68. Probably better forgotten really

I don't get the issue people have getting these on. A little spit on the lever, a little spit inside, a shop rag and wiggle side to side and on it goes. Man up.

Just as a matter of interest what is the part number of the "Rubber Lever End Thingies" as they do look rather good.
