A Padawan no longer you are. Purr, the Ring does.

- Thread starter Cormanus
- Start date
Installation time: Roughly fifteen minutes each. Number of times RLET dropped on the floor, bouncing out of sight: twenty.peterbaron_imp said:Olof, this is great, two bikes and two sets of RLETs... Did you notice any significant performance improvement??? , well if not, it will come as soon as Lord Popgun update his Ring and Cormanus acknowledges your installation
P.s. How long did it take to install them all. Don’t lie, cuz we know the reality
hy:
Performance: Test ride due tomorrow, so I don't know. But I'm expecting a lot. However, to maximize RLET longevity, I've applied glycerine but realize that I should have consulted the Forum first. Have I made a mistake?

No, you just did excellent... and Lord Popgun Ring/post 1441 has been already updated, so easy with your throttle tomorrow

You understand, Olof. Nice work.Olof_imp said:
The application of glycerine has not, as far as I recall, been mentioned before. Can’t think of any harm. RLETs, like the rest of us, probably respond to a bit of love. Be a bit careful when you start out and report back.

RLET free at the moment as my RLETS, successfully removed from my 2017 model, are recovering in a quiet dark space from the trauma. The deal on this 2019 model was just too good to miss and come the weekend the RLETS will proudly adorn her levers. I’m aiming for a sub 30 second per lever install this time. The 11th century church makes a fitting background for the new love of my life and I intend to have the Monks from the Monastry who now own the church to give her a blessing next time I visit there.

Frankie, nice bike ...but your statement needs to be backed by a short video clip...are you really that fast with RLET's installation??Frankie_imp said:RLET free at the moment as my RLETS, successfully removed from my 2017 model, are recovering in a quiet dark space from the trauma.

The need for freshly baked bread for breakfast translated into a nice RLET test ride along the Öresund strait between Denmark and Sweden - thirty rural miles in morning fog. This is my report.
Expectations: High. I took for granted that I would feel a marked difference in the bike – stronger acceleration, better braking, more planted chassis and a general sense of togetherness. Evidence of the missing link no longer missing.
Result: I got the above and more. The bike seems to radiate a new presence, as if continuously rolling out an invisible red carpet ahead. Red lights turn to green, roundabouts clear up, gaps for overtaking emerge and people turn and look as I approach. The cows outside Saxtorp normally ignore all traffic but now gathered eagerly around the bike. Most strange was that the fog this morning, as thick for me as for everyone else, seemed to affect me less – I cruised where others crawled, as if I just knew what lied ahead.
Can I attribute all of this to the RLETs?

Absolutely Olof, there is a relation....

Speed reading helps. I thought I would manage another 14 page chapter tonight, instead I've managed to and am now up to the end of chapter 3 (or page 42 to those who have missed my prior post). Of course, the hardest part of this process is fast forwarding through the pages, since the forum only allows me to skip 2 pages at a time to catch up to my bookmark...
Tonight I learned about the history of RLETs, the first use of the acronym (or abbreviation, or w.h.y.), that practicing with dry condoms is probably not a great idea and most interestingly, the scope of the fitment of RLETs on nearly every Honda model. Wonder what's in store for me tomorrow night?
Onwards and upwards, my strange, strange new friends.

Use windex for things like rlets or installing garage door seals into the lower groove, etc- it is slippery but evaporates quickly with no residue.
