Mine is in a little black box anyway, as is my clutch fluid, so I guess I'm good.

I heard that they also keep the moisture out. I don't have one on my bike.

Drewpy has it right, sunlight will breakdown brake fluid quicker. If you don't have a clear resi, it's not something you need to worry about.

Trip You posted A picture of Yourself Right?? If So thats your White CBR?

How do you like the Akra Exhaust? I'm looking at Them for my ZX6 and I REALLY Like how the Akrapovic Looks and I've heard the Youtube videos...and I know you don't ride a Kawasaki but its essentially going to sound the same being a 600 and all.
