From what I hear, nothing. Just decoration.

Or to keep the zipper on your jacket (or any other metallic objects in that region) from scratching the tank.
Have fun on the open /¦\


There's more to this site than just the message board.

I know, I was surprised too.

Stops your tummy from rubbing off the paint, or your zipper from scratching it. And I don't think any of them are made of real carbon fibre, since a plastic one would weigh about as much as a CF one there's no reason to get the lighter one.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
