I am involved in a large motorbike project and am stuck on what this might be. Here's a picture of one: http://www.ram66.de/Federbeinhülsen.htm

(decorative) cover
It evidently is not the reservoir itself

It appears to me from the illustration that the reservoir is a separate thing with a decorative cover. This concept also fits your text. 'Decorative cover over compensation reservoir on spring strut...'

(decorative) compensator tank cover
On what a "Ziertopf" looks like, see link below.
I am no expert on motorcycle parts. My best guess is that a "Ziertopf" is a "custom" cover attached over the compensator tank for decorative reasons.
This description of the function is probably correct, but I suggest you wait for additional postings as there must be better terms than the one I suggested.
