View Full Version : Is this Scotoiler fitted correctly?
Here is a snap of the K7 I'm getting at the weekend. Having no experience of Scotoilers, is this set right?

Its not particularly discreet but if its in the correct position by the sprocket i see now reason for it not to work
Sorry, missed the question mark off the end! I did think it looked abit weird, how could I improve it?

Instead of sending it along the top of the chain guard you could link it along the bottom/inside/top of the swing arm.

Decent routing in the third pic here: http://forums.sv650.org/showpost.php?p=1494161&postcount=32
Would this be better? (red line) Down behind chainguard, along top of swing arm then down behind swing arm to sprocket? Is it in the right place to start with? Also, how can I fix it to the swing arm? Cable ties?

Looks to be flecking the tyre a bit or are those moulding marks?

The pic I linked to above used the same bolts on the underside of the swinging arm by the looks of things, not looked so I'm not sure if it was drilled for the job or not...if it was then cable ties it is...atleast the swinging arm is black
They are moulding bits, not sure how old the tyre is. I don't mind how it looks, it's just the ring terminal they have used on the chainguard screw. What would you guys advise? I could just paint that terminal black so it's not so obvious.

Scottoiler do stick on clips that attach to your swing arm and hold the tube in place. Thats what I currently use

Could you fit the terminal between the guard and the fixing point to atleast hide some of it and then have the hose route as you've indicated in red behind the guard too?
Or as metalhead says, get some stick on clips...

i'd route the pipe as others have said under the swingarm .....
we use both these type of clips where i work (on hgv's) and as long as you degrease first you'l have no problems with them !!
hope this helps.....mick

Even better, I keep these at work! Cool, get the bike Saturday so will take a look. Got my Fenda Extenda today as well. Anyone fitted one before?

Did my fenda extenda yesterday....no screws just used a homebase kitchen/bathroom "advanced" sealant I already had. After giving the fender a good clean off the bike and then removing the sticky sponge strips from the extenda with a blade and white spirit I then applied the sealant on the extenda and fixed in place. I used masking tape to hold them together for 24 hours to be on the safe side, clamps would have been better but it turned out well anyway. I went for a bimble today and looking A okay and no screws!

Nice one Mick - just bought some of the plastic ones. Thanks for the link.

When I fitted my fenda extenda I roughened it up a bit with sandpaper to give the sealant something to cling onto, tested to (Some) mph and it has not moved, only Tigerseal holding it on.
As for the Scottoiler the OP posted up, thats function over form but it should work just fine.
My TuToRo is routed under the swing arm and cant really be seen from the left of the bike, reservoir is on the right behind the rear brake master cylinder.

That looks sh1te. I will take a piccy of mine when I can get at my bike. I did it with the bits in the kit and it looks a lot better than that. I have an L0, which is identical to a K7, 8 9 etc!
I used the stand lift bobbins for mine. You can't even see it!
