Loobman chain oiler fitting

Anyone had a Loobman oiler on their SV? I've had one for a year waiting to be fitted. Where did you put your bottle? Any other tips or gotchas?

I've got one 2... that just never seemed to pet put on!

I've had 2 before and they are nice, easy to fit and maintain.

Without going out to look at my bike in the car park, i'd say either the pillion pegs or bungie bars would be a good place to mount the oil bottle.

And make sure you've got a "hump" to catch some oil just before the dual delivery head.

Ok.. lost me with hump???

When you fix the lower part of the oiler to the Swingarm, leave a little hump in the tube to catch some oil. like the U-bend in plumbing.
Coz the oil takes time to get from the bottle to the chain, you may have finished riding by the time it gets there. if there's some stuck behind the "hump" air pressure will push it over sooner.

Blinding.. cheers..

cool, dont suppose you can post pics ?

I had one for Xmas (no expense spared in my household!) and the instructions are perhaps the worst I have ever seen for a product. So much so, it's still on the shelf.

thats what i thought when i got mine,
saw the instructions and thought . . . oh no.

a few months later, i put it together following the instructions, and now ive gotta say that they are really easy, just look complicated at a glance.
