taken from their site:

Mugen Reserve Tank Cover

Reserve tank covers for the brake and clutch to absorb leakage occurring due to various factors during driving. The fireproof aramid material ensures safety.

I picked up a pair of black wristbands for $1. It helps clean up the engine bay imo. No reason to spend any more to get Mugen ones though unless you are showing.

I guess if your resivoirs are complaining about being cold they are ok, otherwise it's just another opportunity for king motorsports to dry **** you on mugen parts prices

Unless you are at Buttonwillow every chance you get, you don't need these.

It's to prevent spillage onto the track. Not the boulevard.

Brake fluid is a very dry fluid and actually wicks moisture to it. If you leave a one pint can open for say 4-5 hours it will be ruined. B/C it will absorb most of the moisture in the air into it, Thats why brake fluid looks dirty when it gets old. It has absorbed fluid through the seal. Haven't you ever popped the hood on a car and seen the ring of dirt around the seals on the brake resv cap and or the clutch resv cap. Those covers help filter the grit and keep the fluid cleaner longer...Those dirty rings near the lids are not from leaking fluid...They are from the dirty air and such in the engine bay getting draw into where the fluid is.

Hope that helps.

The Spoon sock on our rally car did wonders. (Mainly because of the leaking MC)


Just buy them and be happy with the purchase.

Bling bling. I like the various type of socks. They add some bling bling for your engine bay. In no way I think I *need* them but I do like the way they look. If you like the way it looks, that's enough reason to get them. It doesn't matter what others think.
