NinjaNick Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Ah yes, you are excited about the good 'ol wristband upgrade. Not much to get a boner over though, it's just a wristband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Done so if any fluid spills, the wristband catches it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 oh, thats high tech. I don't lay my bike down so I don't have that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I got the lid tight and held with a clamp that comes stock. No spillage here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 If the wristband is there, then as far as I'm concerned the brake fluid is there. Outta sight outta mind.The last thing I'd want to do is see if I have fluid in there - that would mean I might actually see the bike needs something and I'd have to do maintenance. Some other sweet upgrades, powder coating the coolant reservoir and painting the oil level window over with acrylic paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I change my brake fluid and take precautions when I change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Or change your brake fluid apparently. Mine gets changed when it needs it. But I have the old style cap with two screws in it Never seen a wristband on that type.If the wristband is there, then as far as I'm concerned the brake fluid is there.

I also enjoy a smoke cover on the tail light, and tinting the headlight. And hey, just thought of sun shade screening or tinting the mirrors to avoid those annoying bright lights behind me... cool...this from a guy that rides a flat black motorcycle that can't be seen anyway...

hue jass Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I always thought they were just to hide that urine cup look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper_308 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 What are they for?Traps and absorbs brake fluid that's vented from the reservoirPrevents brake fluid from getting on your helmet and/or your motorcycle, damaging paint and corroding metalsA 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 accidentKeeps direct sunlight off of the brake and clutch reservoirsPrevents break down and discoloration of your brake fluid and plastic reservoirs caused by suns damaging UV rays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I glued my gas cap closed so it doesn't spill and so noone tries to steal my gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) I'm pretty sure I don't need one.I'm not supposed to over fill the reservoir (or boil the fluid).I'm supposed to cover the bike before opening the reservoir.I try not to ride upside down, and if I do, brake fluid is the least of my worries.I'm supposed to change out the brake fluid before it discolors or breaks down.Of course, now I want one...Do they have them in flat black?edit: Yeah.... ok, if I run across a Resident Evil, Zelda, or Chicken Fett wrist band, I'm buying it...

MadMadame Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I had one on mine (before I changed it out) because to me, it looked like a urine sample cup and I was tired of looking at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I actually use a 1980's leg warmer I found in my mom's attic. It is extra protection in case any fluid leaks from the reservoir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
