Stealth oiler

[northwind]

I got the shark's fin off Ebay ages ago but didn't fancy tapping hte swingarm to fit it... In the end I just araldited it on, so it's possibly not very functional, but I like the look, and it helps to hide the oiler parts. I'd add more photos, but they'd just be of an SV with no visible oiler parts so there's not much point! Priming it's now a bit tricky since I can't see any of the clear piping...

I'm thinking I might be able to stealth it up further by making a smaller bracket and fitting it off the shark's fin, but I want to wait and see if it drops off first

Also, my bike now has every R&G part that'll fit to the SV on it. That does not indicate a great deal of confidence

Essentially, YES.

Supposedly stops fingers and flotsum and jetsum being dragged between chain and rear sprocket.

More for racers and stunters I think to be honest- basically people who're likely to find their left foot suddenly not on the peg, and a wee bit more in the sprocket direction. But I've got no shame so I'll grab a bit of racer cool while nobody's looking Might come in handy (or footy) some day, you never know.

In theory you could put the whole bracket onto the axle, now I think about it, but that'd be potentially a whole lot of hassle. I'll have a look at that at some point, see if it's doable. I thought about front sprocket oiling but it seems you get a more even spread on the rear.

lookin good.
