+1. If I didn't know better, I'd say it had just come out of the showroom!The ferret_imp said:

I guess I just ride mine too much, it has never looked that good since it left the showroom. I try and get it clean, but then I usually go, "hey it's nice out lets get done with it and get on the road" and it never comes out " pristine" as R4N calls it. I am impressed with guys like R4N and Tink who can keep a bike so clean.
BTW I do wipe my RLETs off with ArmorAll after cleaning the bike. Just showing them the love they deserve.

Yeah, I know the real reason. The ArmorAll gives a slick finish to the RLETs, reducing their universally recognized poor aerodynamic qualities and allowing you to blitz the local roads at high speed. Your best kept high performance secret is out.The ferret_imp said:

Nah... impossible to ride TOO much. I wish I had 1/2 of the miles you have this year and probably every year. Ah, retirement... in a few years! But I do like (love) taking care of my vehicles... my boat is 23 years old...and other than a sun faded tourneau cover, you'd think she was almost new. 2 of my 3 vehicles have over 150,000 miles on them and they run and look almost like new. Even my Harley is 10 years old with (not a lot of miles in your book) 23000 miles and she looks new. So as much as I whine about not liking to clean my bikes... I don't like it when they don't look pristine (to use Cormanus's term...).The ferret_imp said:

First service completed
I ordered my RLETs from Honda Parts Unlimited, only took 4 days to get here.
They were a little tough to get on until I spread some no-lox on them then they slid right on.
I like em!

Noticed this after re-watching The Terminator (for the 100th time) the other night and thought of this thread. Though he appears to be missing one -- maybe that's why he dumps the bike a few mins after this screen cap.
Not my screen-cap; I see someones else picked up on it...

Haha! Asymetrical RLETs. I love it.
I have resisted the lure of RLETs for a long time. After my recent deer encounter I ended up with a scraped up clutch lever end. It occurred to me that an RLET would fix that right up. Since my bike is the asymetrical '13 model, maybe I should do like Arnold and put one RLET on the left side to balance that exhaust pipe over in the right

ok, I admit it. My life would be better with RLETS.
I don't have time to go through 45 pages to find a link and Honda parts unlimited looks like car website (though I didn't dig too hard).
Can someone post a link to fix my RLET void in the COMPANY/VENDOR LINKS PAGE LINK
PLEASE DONT MAKE ME BEG.

I ordered mine through my Honda dealer. Might work for you, too.

The picture shows the Honda part number. You can order them from a dealer. Or here is one place: http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/honda/HP-95010-16001.html
A number of places come up if you Google the part number.
There is one per bag so you have to order 2.

Levers without RLETs are like rims without tires. You could still ride it, but it wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
