Protection: The sock shields the plastic brake fluid reservoir from impacts caused by gravel and other road debris.
Leak prevention: It can absorb and contain minor leaks or seepage from the reservoir, protecting painted surfaces and other parts of the motorcycle from corrosive brake fluid.
UV protection: The sock blocks direct sunlight, which can cause brake fluid to break down and degrade over time.
Aesthetic enhancement: As part of Puig's Hi-Tech Parts line, the sock adds a sporty look to the motorcycle.
Racing-standard containment: Covering the reservoir is a common practice on race tracks to contain potential fluid spills.
Universal fit: The 5208N reservoir sock is designed for a universal fit, and can cover reservoirs up to 3 inches tall
