Rubber Lever End Thingies

[Nortoon_imp]

I am no longer a Padawan!

But it took a while to install the RLETs.
I noticed the ball on the end of the lever was flat on the bottom.
As was the collar on the RLET.
So I tried many times to slip the RLET on from bottom to top with two flat spots mated.
Didn’t work.
Neither did softening the RLET is boiling water.
Nor did dish soap, or silicon grease.
Cleaned everything off both the lever and RLET.
Inserted a small pair of pliers in the collar and stretched it every way possible.
No luck.
I thought to myself, I not tough enough to ride a Honda let alone a Harley.

Then I noticed the back of the lever is also flat.
So I tried pushing the RLET on from the back of the ball to the front with two flat spots mated.
BINGO!
Slid the other one on first try.

Somewhere in the Honda factory in Japan there is a group of cute young girls reading this and laughing their tushys off. They can slip an RLET on faster than you can don a condom.
