Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the name plate, first shift the lever to a position that provides clear access to the mounting screws. Remove the damaged plate carefully to avoid stripping the internal threads. Clean the area with a dry cloth before seating the new plate. Tighten the fixing screws until snug, but avoid over-tightening as the plastic housing can be delicate. This part is strictly compatible with the left-hand Shimano ST-RS405 lever; do not attempt to force it onto other series, as the mounting hole orientation and curvature will differ. To ensure longevity, keep the area around the shifter free of excessive solvent buildup, as harsh degreasers can compromise the finish of the plastic cover.
