Scottoiler

Which one? I was reading through a magazine that had scottoilers. It had different price ranges from £30ish to £90ish, apart from the reservoir size, what is the difference?? I ride every day so I'm not too sure as to what to go for.
Cheers

Ive just bought one, think you need the universal kit for the SV

Cool, cheers. How much would that set me back? Easy to fit? Thanks

?69.95 and I haven't got one so I have no idea how easy they are to fit.

Best of all the're a Scottish company based in Milngavie near Glasgow. Supperb customer service too. I had one incorrectly fitted to my Sprint ST by my Triumph dealer, so I contactd Scotoiler by email to say it didn't look like the pictures on the website. They replied inviting me to "pop in and we'll take a look for you", free of charge. So I called in on my home from work one day, and the bloke fixed it for me! Wouldn't take a penny from me either.

And yes, it was incorrectly fitted by an authorised Triumph and Kawasaki garage!

Similar experience, I installed it about right, asked the dealer (who should have fitted it in the 1st place) to sort it out - I had rushed the job basically and had to always re-adjust the delivery to the rear sprocket.

They fixed it by re-routing it to drip onto the top of the chain just before the front sprocket.

Now all fixed by me.

Its easy to fit and doest take long.

The guys at Scottoiller are, as mentioned, great.

If you can afford the extra quid or two the delivery will cost, buy direct from them and give them your money, instead of them only getting the wholesale price from a dealership.

Despite them saying the Touring HCR isn`t compatable with the SV I bought one by mistake before finding this out . I fitted it anyway and haven`t had any problems . You have to remove the little metal bracket that holds your number plate onto the "snowshovel" style rear guard (not so sure about those with tail tidys though) . You can then bolt the touring HCR in place and attach your plate to the HCR . The only real problem that I think that could raise it`s ugly head is the fact that the number plate light doesn`t shine as much light on the number plate as it used to , in saying that though I double checked the light being shone on it compared to my mates standard GSX1400 rear and mine still looked better and I haven`t had any problems with it since

Best way to fit it, ideal for underseat pipe bikes too as you can locate the resevoir under the clocks or panel under the handle bars and run the pipe along the inside of the frame onto the front sprocket (allows you to continue using the small space under the seat for a disc lock).

Yes, onto the front sprocket would be good - to drop oil onto the front sprocket from above, so with chain fling, none (or little) of the oil ever reaching the sprocket - not so good.....

Ah, sorry not literally onto the front sprocket, just behind it and above the swingram pivot point. This is an approved location from Scottoiler, also has been used for a Blackbird for over 57,000 miles with no issues.
