Thanks for that, I had searched but couldn't find anything and thought perhaps was a joke Big Grin

My local Honda dealer has fallen out with Honda and lost the dealership so not available there.
I have quickly looked on fleabay and actually found some the full length of the lever but suspect with lever useage they will maybe twist and go out of shape so will keep looking for the little ones later.

Just found these in the UK. not for a specific Honda bike though so I guess its one size fits all. They look different rubber to the ones on here.

Yeah, few [dare to] speak of putting a Honda 95010-16001 on a non-Honda machine. I can't imagine the consequences.

Actually some of the mid 70s Suzuki models used Rlets or Rlet-copies on some of their bikes as well.

There are some genuine Yamaha ones listed on ebay I have found which cover the whole lever. Imagine pushing those all the way on when people have struggled with just the end 95010-16001 ones.

Anyway I have ordered two 95010-16001 and will slide them on as soon as they arrive. Smile

If you have not done so already, suggest you read through the variolous posts on how to install them. It takes some finesse, as they do not just slide on. There was a recent post on using an air compressor which I have not tried, but sounds like a no muss no fuss method. The key elements are boil to soften the rubber and install while the rubber is still hot, dry hands and/or a towel for friction and a good grip against the rubber while pushing them on, and lubrication on the lever ball like dish soap. Dish soap will dry out with no harm to the rubber. Avoid petroleum based lubricants.
