Any leaks on the fluid pot and the sweatband will soak it up,so not to get on to your precious paintwork. Nearly every race bike has them on. Fast bikes magazine has a free one attached this month if you want to see how they look for nothing.

Ok so if you ride a road bike and maybe take the lid off you fluid pot once a year, you may not get a drop of fluid anywhere but if its a race bike that may need work on the brakes quite alot then its easy to see why they have them. If you get any fluid in the cap and put it back on, it will seep down through the threads and blow everywhere in the wind, as i found out :emb:
