    Rubber Tips on Levers or not?

    I know there has been many threads on this topic, I just can't seem to find them at the moment. The levers are for a HK1. Rubber tips or not? It's that simple. Thanks!

    All pictures of originals and sales brocheres show the levers with black rubber tips.

    Rubber tipped came stock. Be careful ordering them - I bought some from eBay that stated they were for a CT70 however when they were delivered I discovered them to be too large. Also Honda's actual levers do have a bushing for the pivot and aftermarket do not. But the Honda's are more costly too.

    Isn't there a $10 set of good Honda's with no tips. I picked up a can of plastic coating you dip your tools into the other day and I was going to try that on a set. If it works, 2 sets will pay for itself. Has anyone else done this?
