Hi Blake,
I purchased the Scottoiler from the US importer Actionstation in California.
They appear to be a small business run by Brits who sell only British imported
accessories. They can be reached at (530) 898-9269 or Fax (530) 898-9188 or
email action@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or check out their web site
http://actionstation.com/oiler.html for a description and pictures of the
oiler. It comes in two sizes. The standard oiler which I bought is small
enough to be hidden and holds about 50cc of oil (supplied with the kit) which
should last at least 1,000 miles. A larger touring kit is also available
which fits under the license plate but would probably look out of place on a
US bike because our plates are smaller. Remember to get the special ST vacuum
tee adapter or installation could be very difficult. I installed mine without
drilling any holes or in any way irreversibly altering the bike.

<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>Where are Scottoiler?</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>Scottoilers are made in Glasgow, Scottland, where
the product was designed and developed. The name comes from the founder
of the company, Mr. Fraser Scott.
</font>
<p>
<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>Why A Chain Oiler?</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>If you are used to oiling your chain with a spray, then
isn't a mechanical chain oiler an overkill? On first impressions, maybe
- but consider the cost of a replacement chain. If a regular application
of a very small amount of oil keeps it in tip-top condition and reduces
the need for chain adjustment, isn't that worth something? Not to
mention the vastly reduced mess caused by throw-off, and the bother of
spraying.
</font>
<p>
<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>Tried & Tested Over Years</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>New to the US market the Scottoiler is now very well
established and successful in almost all of Europe. Sold to ardent
motorcycle enthusiasts for more than a decade, it passed the 'novelty'
test by years - in fact 1997 was an all time sale record for the
Company.
</font>
<p>
<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>Safe & Reliable</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>A product like this has to be engineered correctly to
be reliable and safe. The Scottoiler has German TÜV Standards
approval, which is regarded by many to be the toughest Standards
Organisation in the world. Oil only flows through the RMV unit when
there is a vacuum in the inlet manifold tube i.e. when the engine is
running.

<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>How Much Oil?</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>Most people are suprised how little oil is used. The
object is to maintain the chain in a slightly moist condition, and a
of 1 to 2 drops per minute is adequate. This provides a protective,
lubricating film over the chain, including the 'O' rings, and also
the sprocket to chain interface.
</font>
<p>
<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>'O' Ring Chains?</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>Yes 'O' ring chains still need oiling! It's true that
when manufactures, grease is secured in the rollers and held there
by 'O' rings. But any rider will have seen how dry and raw those 'O'
rings get. And what about friction? - have you ever tried to push
rubber across a smooth metal surface? In summary 'O' ring chains still
need some lubrication to maintain life and reduce sprocket wear.
</font>
<p>
<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>Easy to Fit</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>Part of the appeal of the Scottoiler is that it's a
straightforward job to fit at home. Alternatively your dealer can fit
it for you - 50% of those sold in the UK are also fitted by the dealer.
As there are no electrical connections, there's no danger os causing
damage to the bike! You can fit one in an hour or so, but most people
enjoy taking the trouble to conceal all the feed tubes etc and make a
factory-type job of it.
</font>
<p>
<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>All Types of Bikes</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>Scottoilers can be fitted to all chain drives of any age,
and the same benefit applies to all bikes.
In the UK the Honda VFR750 and Yamaha FJ1200 are the most
popular applications, in Europe dual sport bikes are very popular.
In the USA we are also seeing high sales to VT1000 Super Hawk and
NT650 Hawk riders. Naturally the more miles you cover, the greater
benefit you will receive through not having to spray your chain at
regular and inconvenient intervals.
</font>
<p>
<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>Touring Kit</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>For those who travel L-O-N-G journeys, we strongly
recommend the Touring kit which has a high capacity reservior - enough
for 4,000 to 8,000 miles! This is even easier to fit, as it locates on
the rear license plate bracket.
</font>
<p>
<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>ATV</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1>As we went to press, we are getting feedback from ATV
owners fitting Scottoilers. Smart idea for work and play ATVs. The
standard kit forms an excellent basis for an installation.
</font>
<p>
<font face="arial,geneva">
<b>Magazine Tests</b><br><hr>
<font size=-1 color="#0000F2">We have Scottoilers with many US
magazines, who are fitting them to test bikes for evaluation.<br>
Lookout for those reviews!<br>
</font>
<cite><font size=-1>The top UK magazine RIDE said in FEB '97 "If you
only fit one gadget to your bike this year make it a Scottoiler"
</font></cite>
<br>
<cite><font size=-1 color="#0000F2">Rider Magazine - Feb 1998</font>
<br>
<font size=-1>
Fitted a Mk6 Scottoiler to a Suzuki Bandit 1200. Unusually for a new
product a whole page was devoted to fitting and testing the unit.
Look up the issue for the detailed report - "The Scottoiler functions
exactly as advertised.....our unit delivered oil right to the chain
with a bare minum of fling-off"
</font></cite>
<br>
<cite><font size=-1 color="#0000F2">Motorcycle Consumer News - March 1998</font>
<br>
<font size=-1>
Look out for the detailed test of the Mk6 Scottoiler fitted to a
Hawk GT. Voted 'Innovation of the Month', this acclolade is the
ultimate compliment from the detail-oriented no-advertising standard.
