Has this place finally driven me over the edge?
#1

I thought that I had things under control. This forum started innocently enough. But in short time, it began to have an impact on me. While I didn't deviate too far from stock, I did purchase a few accessories for my CB. Nothing too outlandish with the exception of the Staintune which I have to admit was definitely a bit extravagant.

But now I've really done it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to look myself in the mirror tomorrow. I've never been one to give in to peer pressure, or so I thought. I also thought that I could go at least two full years without these. I guess I was wrong.

That's right, another one falls prey to RLET Fever.

I too ordered a pair from my local Honda dealer yesterday. Should arrive Tuesday, so I'm told. Guth, which of the install methods suggested did you use sir?

Old school. I just pinched each side of the opening between thumb and forefinger and stretched it as much as I could then pulled it over the end of the lever as far as I could. From there I was able to work it fully on all the way. Took about a minute for each one.

That carries some authority seeing how you're the one responsible for starting and spreading RLET Fever before this place even got up and running. Big Grin

I refer everyone to this quote from a post you made in Jan. 2013 over on the Adventure Rider forum:

The other Ferret Wrote:Im going to put those little rubber lever covers on mine. No early Honda look alike should come without those cool little rubber covers.
Jeez, there was already a The Ferret on board? That just doesn't seem right.

You are the man, Guth. I'm sure many of the other pressures on you will suddenly seem lighter.

Bravo! Thumbs Up

To think, they might have been called LRLC's or CLRC's had your ADV post caught on...

When you look in the mirror tomorrow, repeat after me "I still have my tank stickers. I still have my tank stickers."
