If that were truly the case the reservoirs wouldn't be translucent.

I agree, I am just stating why people use it on the street. I am more inclined to believe it's fashion.

Yea but then you'd have to open the res to check it which would suck. The thing about UV damage is that it's much slower than hygroscopic damage... In other words, you should have changed the fluid long before sunlight may have damaged it. IMHO this is one of those holdover situations from the past that no longer apply.
