+1. If I didn't know better, I'd say it had just come out of the showroom!

RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies



I guess I just ride mine too much, it has never looked that good since it left the showroom. I try and get it clean, but then I usually go, "hey it's nice out lets get done with it and get on the road" and it never comes out " pristine" as R4N calls it. I am impressed with guys like R4N and Tink who can keep a bike so clean.

BTW I do wipe my RLETs off with ArmorAll after cleaning the bike. Just showing them the love they deserve.

Yeah, I know the real reason. The ArmorAll gives a slick finish to the RLETs, reducing their universally recognized poor aerodynamic qualities and allowing you to blitz the local roads at high speed. Your best kept high performance secret is out.

Nah... impossible to ride TOO much. I wish I had 1/2 of the miles you have this year and probably every year. Ah, retirement... in a few years! But I do like (love) taking care of my vehicles... my boat is 23 years old...and other than a sun faded tourneau cover, you'd think she was almost new. 2 of my 3 vehicles have over 150,000 miles on them and they run and look almost like new. Even my Harley is 10 years old with (not a lot of miles in your book) 23000 miles and she looks new. So as much as I whine about not liking to clean my bikes... I don't like it when they don't look pristine (to use Cormanus's term...).

I ordered my RLETs from Honda Parts Unlimited, only took 4 days to get here.
They were a little tough to get on until I spread some no-lox on them then they slid right on.
I like em!

Noticed this after re-watching The Terminator (for the 100th time) the other night and thought of this thread. Though he appears to be missing one -- maybe that's why he dumps the bike a few mins after this screen cap.



Not my screen-cap; I see someones else picked up on it...

Haha! Asymetrical RLETs. I love it.

I have resisted the lure of RLETs for a long time. After my recent deer encounter I ended up with a scraped up clutch lever end. It occurred to me that an RLET would fix that right up. Since my bike is the asymetrical '13 model, maybe I should do like Arnold and put one RLET on the left side to balance that exhaust pipe over in the right Big Grin
