Stops the brake cable catching on the triple clamps and bringing the brake on, especially when the forks are at full stretch.  ;) 8)

I brought a yz100 with a smacked up front end years ago,I scored another front end & banged it in but had no front plate,first ride out i came off a drop off jump & went down like a bag of shit,after i dusted myself off i thought wtf, why did that happen? When i looked at the bike i saw that the brake cable was stretched to the shit over the triple clamp & the front anchors were locked on solid,I had to walk a couple klms home to get some tools,crap! Lesson learned the hard way.
