It has little swiveling joints that are sealed with rubber boots. If you ever attempt to remove the joint ring, the spinning of the nuts that hold it on will tear the boots, leaving them open to the elements. My boots are torn from I-don't-know-when (I think before I owned the bike), and so I need to replace the entire part. WARNING TO ALL: if you ever loosen or remove either of your joint rings, have replacement torque washers (#4BH-23392-00) ready so the boots don't get destroyed upon reinstallation. Better yet, leave the thing alone and avoid the problem altogether. -Derek
