Review: Brake Reservoir Socks

I recently ordered a set of brake reservoir socks with embroidered Yamaha logos. Went to a lot of places, from motorcycle shops to clothing shops, looking for the perfect pair of socks. I had no luck in the search until Eric pointed out to me that I forgot about the biggest shop in the world, eBay.

It didn't take me long to figure out that they were called brake reservoir socks. At first, I thought they were called wristbands. With my new-found knowledge, I got very good search results and in no time, I found the perfect pair of socks. In case you are wondering why I keep saying pair, it's because I'm referring to both front and rear brake reservoir socks.

My purchase arrived about 2 days ago.

Lovely, isn't it. And don't be silly, of course I removed my address. Wouldn't want fans to appear at my door every day.

And the contents.

It came with free ear plugs! Though I wouldn't use them, they are okay for the less choosy I suppose.

There was one thing that really gave me a good surprise. The front brake reservoir sock is also a small zip pouch! And I currently use it to store my ear plugs. Such ingenuity and convenience!

The embroidery is high quality for an eBay product, not that I'm condemning eBay. But it exceeded my expectations, especially after a few disappointments in the past.

So comes the important question. How much was it? It was £9.99 GBP for the socks and £2.50 GBP for shipping from the UK. That equates to about SGD$24. Not very cheap, but considering the fact that it's almost impossible to find it here in Singapore, I say the price is pretty reasonable.

Here are pictures of the socks on my bike. Beautiful embroidery!

If you would like to know who this seller is on eBay, please leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

That's all for tonight, ride safe!
