All any collector really needs is ONE pair of original hoods. Dead easy to take a lever and hood assembly off a set of bars by leaving the attaching clamp on the bars and switching for a user pair of levers with generic hoods. No need to undo any bartape and would take any of us all of 5 minutes.

Do you (any of you) clamp the brake to the naked bar, then tape? Or do you tape the bars with just the clamp in place, then attach the lever body?
