These are 100% Cotton high quality reservoir socks, which are made to fit your brake reservoirs perfectly. The logo's are all embroided on.

The small ones fit the rear brake/clutch reservoirs, the large ones fit the front brake reservoirs.

What do they do? (Aside from looks)

•Traps and absorbs brake fluid that's vented from the reservoir
•Prevents brake fluid from getting on your helmet and/or your motorcycle, damaging paint and corroding metals
•A number of race tracks ask racers to cover their reservoirs as they also assist in containing any brake fluid that may be spilled onto the track in the event of an unfortunate accident
•Keeps direct sunlight off of the brake and clutch reservoirs
•Prevents break down and discoloration of your brake fluid and plastic reservoirs caused by suns damaging UV rays


How much?

A set of large and small covers will be $17.99 Shipped to USA and Canada.

Re: FS: Yamaha Brake Reservoir Socks / Covers - $15.99 Shipped

do these really trap and absorb brake fluid? :confused:
Yes they do, they are 100% cotton, and not polyester or etc...

Other than the intended good looks, their functinoal purpose is to absorb seaping fluid since under extreme braking your brake fluid will seap out of the reservoir. Reservoir's are vented.

Here is a picture a member just posted.



Either you can slip it on as you see in the picture, just move the reservoir over a little and slide it in the back.

Or you can unbolt the reservoir, cut a little slit in the reservoir sock, slide the tab of the rear brake reservoir into the slit and bolt the reservoir back on. Sounds complicated in words, but it isn't at all.

I personally just slide it on top.
