Yeah, can't disagree with PG's assessment:

1. Half an hour in warm water
2. Long nosed pliers to stretch the hole outwards before trying to fit
3. A squirt of silicon wd40, let the excess run out
4. Stretch carefully and slip in the lever ball end

Partzilla has them. Part #95010-16001, there is one per package so make sure you order 2.
Whoops
Been there

Great success!!
So I basically used and highly recommend the zip tie method for installing RLET's. Took about 5 minutes total.
I followed the method used in this video, exactly. Right down to making sure the music from the video was playing while I installed them (this step may be critical, not sure though as I didn't test without).
Additionally I put on the kettle and heated some water to about 175°f/80°c to put the RLET's in just to warm them up and make them a bit more slippery and pliable.
Then I used 4 zip ties and just pulled the RLET on by pulling on the two side of ties. I also used this method to put Grip Puppies on my bars after trying unsuccessfully to install them using water and soapy water.

Do the RLETs have an actual function?
Or do people use them for the way the look?

Rumor has it they were originally designed after a Honda engineer scratched his car with a lever end.
We use them because they are traditional on ( early ) Hondas, particularly CB's.
Plus they have magical powers, increase gas mileage and horsepower and other powers

Incredibly, RLET engineering was perfected over 50 years ago. The design has been the same since.
I've heard that elsewhere and here...and am a witness to their effectiveness... tight garage space, trying to back mc out of garage, you're looking back, you forget about the levers... lever rubs against car door... RUB being the key word. W/out, you get a scratched car door.The ferret_imp said:

I will testify to that. Before CB1100, I marred a few car doors with naked lever ends. Fortunately with a little decent polish, the "paint burn" was worked out - but just.
Two experts show us how it’s done.
