:-) thanks that comments cheered me up. And not really those were OEM Honda in their original package as pictured earlier in this thread. Oh well I lost more in my life then 15 USD for a new set.

Mate, do not, under any circumstances, ride the bike with just one of them. There'll be no telling the consequences.

This link should take you to post #9 by Elipten http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....#pid32744. You should try the rag trick—or a riding glove to force the little b..... on.

So..yesterday I was prepared to throw the faulty thingie away..and I left it in my kitchen overnight in anger. This morning..I don´t know why, I put it into my jeans pocket and it stayed there all day. On my trip from work I stopped in a garage and gave it one last try. Dab of silicone oil..pop...thingie goes on like nothing for a first try: now explain the magic.

I went for a quick ride yesterday and was caught by heavy rain..so I gave the bike its first wash today.

The thingies ARE magic. They have feelings. The more difficult one likely felt your anger.

I agree that it changed the feeling significantly. Now it is completely other and different bike from the previous bare-lever version. Honda should put the thingies on all bikes in factory. More retro factor for few cents...
