What's an RLET?

[the Ferret]

If you saw a restored Honda without the rubber lever end covers they were not restored correctly. All CB Hondas came with them, including the 1969 CB 750 as well as many other Hondas. I posted a list of bikes one time from Honda that used that part and believe me it was quite extensive. Google 1969 Honda CB 750, look at the Wikipedia definition, the bike in the Honda collection hall has them, look at Google Images of old Hondas, look at images of early Honda ads. Look closely they are there. If you didn't see them on the original bikes, you just weren't paying attention. They came with them and no one I know removed them. I worked in Honda dealerships from 1972-1989. My first Honda was a new 1966 CB160 it also came with them.

If you saw a bike without them the lever was replaced by someone but not the rubber lever end cover since it was a separate part from the lever.

BTW many other bikes from Japan came with them too, like the Suzuki GT 750
