Heresy. Blashphemy. Pride. The dark side are they.

To the non-believers:



Marquez, Spencer, Hailwood - All raced with RLETs.
And you think you're better than them. Ha!Dodgy

Sorry Joe but RLETs protect at lower and normal speed not during racing 'cos RLETs are safety/angel items .... and at THAT time, these were not even called RLETs yet Tongue Big Grin

P.S. Next week, I will have 6/six RLETs in my household Excited

Peter, I beg to differ. RLETs work well in the pits, while being transported, and in the the very last seconds of an accident, just before the lever would have contacted the ground. Back in Hailwood's day, they were Racing Lever End Things. Big Grin

P.S. Glad to hear your new addition has a clutch lever too. Unless you're adding 2 DCT bikes......

The Force is strong with this one. Purring the Ring is. Take note Padawans should.

Pay attention all ye! Pekingduck knows what he's talking about. He will also tell you Honda was fitting RLETs to motorcycles well before making the magnificent specimens he showed us.
