Okay, I am all in. I was just too uncomfortable riding around unprotected. Installed the missing RLETs yesterday. Riding around today I felt lt much safer!

I used the spit and shop rag approach, recommended earlier in this post, to get them installed. Man, if profolactics took near the effort to use as the RLETs the population on this planet would have consumed all available resources long ago!

Not to bash on this but would plasti dip be an alternative. Not the aerosol kind the actual can that you dip a tool in

Jeff Jeff Jeff. Of course you could do this. You could even take a black Sharpie to the levers and it might look OK. Alternatively, though, you could enjoy the process of the RLET ordering, prep work, and installation which will only serve to make you stronger.

Remember this: "Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars." - Kahlil Gibran

(Full-disclosure: I had my dealer install the RLETs, but that doesn't make my comments less worthy of note)
