I was kinda warned by this guy's review about the front brakes before I bought it ... but while I was anticipating the issue I didn't experience anything that extreme in my experience. Your mileage may vary.

Clearly the problem was the blue glove.
Fun flick Bill.
I needed something! In the prequel, my thumbnail started bleeding around the 8:00 mark and at the very end you can see the huge skin peel from my thumb and forefinger!
However, the latter may be from all the sweat buildup under the glove which softened the skin.
Man, those blisters took a couple of weeks to heal! And raw, throbbing skin in the two places you need it the most!
The moral ... don't bother with RLETs unless you're keeping the bike.
Aw man - that means some soul went with the RLETs. I would have taken the RLETs off and sold to the highest Forum [blind auction] bidder ... like [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB.

Actually I put them on to dress it up for sale ... and (cough) cover up some scratches.
The new owner was kinda making noises how "the detailing was not up to his standards" when he received it ...
... yeah, how's that brake grab detail looking?
