Rubber Lever End Thingies

[pdedse]

On April Fool’s Day 2014 I installed RLETs on my 2011 CB1100 and began this thread. Earlier this month the beast toppled over on me and left me with a shorty clutch lever. The tale of how all this came to pass may well be told in a chronicle in due course.

So, brothers and sisters, what to do?

Should I:

[li]Try to take the old RLET off the broken lever and put it on the new lever; or[/li] [li]Acquire a new RLET?
[/li]

redbirds, peterbaron and other heretics will suggest there is an option 3: rebalance the bike by ripping the RLET off the brake lever. Forget it. It is not an option. Keep your heretical thoughts to yourselves.

The economics of the question are irrelevant; the critical issue is whether an intact RLET retains its mystical properties and should continue in service or, when injured or tainted, should be consigned to history’s dustbin. Or, I suppose, mounted in my personal hall of shame.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Sorry to hear of your mishap...but asking about a used RLET means that you are OK, right?

Stopy right there...YES! They are much easier to take off than put on, and the second time you do put them on, they go on easy 'cause they're all stretched out.
