Brake reservoir sock - purpose?
Does it serve any real purpose other than looks?
I have read many a "reason" but most of it sounds like BS. |

Re: Brake Res Sock
Not true, I have first hand experience that when the sock is applied to brake master cyclinders that there is a instant doubling in BHP from the engine!! Magic they are...well recommended.

Re: Brake Res Sock
They are used to stop the brake fluid from spreading on the track of the bike goes down and it breaks. On the road they do nothing.
