Ahh PB. That is the perfect excuse!

Suhawk305 had a little incident enroute to the rally and broke his clutch lever. He said he carried an extra RLET as a “ good luck charm” to ward off these occurrences. The Honda dealer in Marietta got him a new lever with next day service. A-man picked it up and installed the new lever. I followed up with a parking lot RLET install. A little chain lube on the lever ball and 2 minutes in microwave in a cup of water. Good as new! (I’m sure I didn’t come near Nemo’s record)
I wish I had a picture of the temporary lever fix by rickcb….mini vise grips and a zip tie. It worked on a temporary basis until the new lever was installed.

Translation: "chain lube" --> petroleum jelly.

Did you install the inside out roll on easy method which puts the seam underneath.GoldOxide_imp said:

If that is so, Honda will have repurposed its entire stock of RLETs so you will not be able to buy them which means you can’t install them. If, however, Honda is still selling them, you have no excuse. :angel:peterbaron_imp said::dodgy:

Do the RLETs serve a purpose other than Angel promotions?

No celebration. Not CB1100. :-/
One of those situations of a wee bit of petroleum jelly and "pop", and moved on with other tasks.
No more concern of dragging lever ends across car doors.

Oh that's what all the mystery is about! Random PCXs are getting RLETs while hundreds of rletless CBs are condemned to the fires of hell lol
