Sorry I can’t help you with this Peter. I selected a different specialty in college. RLET design and testing courses are more common in A-man’s specialty.
However, what I believe modern RLETs have been slightly modified compared the original 1960s version. The modern RLETS appears shorter. I assume this design modification was the result of extensive wind tunnel testing?
The picture of the (aftermarket levers) RLETs on my 1967 CB77 are representative of the early RLETs:

Mike, you've got "knee high' RLETs

Yeah, isn't it typical how "man kind" always does things the hard way first.
Somebody must have cheated to get those original RLETs on.

Since my name was invoked, I'll offer an opinion. I think that astute Honda engineers were concerned that bare levers would create laminar air flow and thus increased drag (duh!), and therefore sought a solution to create turbulent air flow around the lever end fittings. Hence the birth of the RLET. Q.E.D.

It could be possible that RLET technology was leaked from Area 51, given its simple, yet odd shape, basic colour mystique and the effect on Honda aerodynamics.

No, RLETs came from Japan

I don't think extraterrestrial theory cares about region. Take for example: The Force.peterbaron_imp said:No, RLETs came from Japan
