Rant away, flame away.

What exactly do they do? I've seen them thoughout the years on race bikes. I specifically remember the ZX-7 Scott Russell WSB machine had lime green brake disc covers for some reason. I thought it might have been a wet race. Also i think i saw a Repsol Honda of Pedrosa recently sporting them. what gives.?

Keeps most of the dirt out caliper side for an MX bike.

Cold days\cold air... these help with keeping the HEAT Up, on the brake pads and rotors. There was a time where the carbon disc&carbon pads HAD to have Alot of heat to make them even work any good...
However, I don't know if this is the case anymore with todays goods.

I Hope this Helps and I haven't lead you completely astray..

Peace
