I have rubber lever end thingies (RLETs) on my CB1100. (And now my F3-S!) They used to come with older motorcycles. I think they look cool. They cost around $3.25 each from any Honda dealer.
Part of the fun with these is they are super hard to install, unless you know the trick. Some people claim installing these is a rite of passage. The trick is to squirt a 50/50 solution of rubbing alcohol and water inside the RLET while keeping the outside dry. The inside then becomes super slippery and you just pop it over the lever end. It takes me about a minute to do one. The very first one I did, before I knew the trick, took almost an hour.
Anyways, I see lots of super expensive farkles out there so I thought I'd share a cheap one, especially since people with the SM5/SM6 are in the minority. Not only do we get more control but we get cool rubber lever end thingies!
