Thinking of getting a scottoiler as its nearly new chain time, I want to fit it under the back LHS plastics, where an alarm would normally go, has anybody done this?

:confused:keep it out of sight and out of the way

you cant see it, & it is out of the way, i know peeps have put it where you say, not sure who though

IMO by the shock is best

Chris, either of the locations mentioned is good. You can fit on LHS of shock without removing the rear panels, so it easier.

Advantage of putting behind the rear panels on sub-frame is greater height, but adjusting the flow might be tricky.

There are some photos on here somewhere of both installations, but I can't find them. (useless)

FWIW I put mine next to the rear shock on LHS, it goes behind the little triangular plastic panel under riders seat. Worked fine.

Yes, I have done this on a pointy. Alarm is on the RHS, scottoiler is on the left. Make sure the top of the scottoiler is easily accessible with just the pillion seat off. Easy to refill/alter the flow rate that way. :)

Got one ordered so will have a play when it arrives, the under seat unit looked pretty neat but will check both out.

I fitted mine months ago but dont use it. The bit that feeds the oil on to the chain fell off twice after using the superglue. Can't bring myself to drill the swingarm and cable ties look ****.

With how the rest of the bike looks, cableties fit in quite well

I fitted mine where I could keep an eye on the reservoir...

The reservoir is where Hovis mentioned, beside the shock. Easy to access there and out of the way. I used to have it more or less where you're talking about, though I had it inside the subframe for ease of access... I found it'd often lose its prime when on its side, though my oiler is very old, and doesn't work quite as well as the current model.

You can clearly see the two screw holes here.

Aha, how convenient.
What shock is that?

Ohlins. Same as on Northwinds, although my "bottle" is located on the right hand side of the bike.

Right had a play with it, next to the shock is just annoying me, can't seem to get everything to fit right and look like its out of the way of moving bits.
So its on the subframe, nicely accessible from the pillion seat, I'm just in the process of routing the injector pipe and figuring out how to drop the oil in the right place.

Mines in the same place though nothing real fancy with the fitting... Just on the bike and working... I did have some pics somewhere...
