to stop UV light degrading the fluid (I didn't know brake fluid is UV sensitive - is it??)
to stop distracting the rider (you'd be very sad if you sat and watched the reservoir)
to stop it freezing (ridiculous)
fashion (possible)

but I'm guessing that nobody really knows.

Do you have a band on your reservoir? Why?

What does the org think?

I know, its to keep the reservior warm in the cold weather, its simple I don't know why people have suggested all these other ideas why
