I mounted the resevoir just in front of the left edge of the licence plate 
using 2 zip ties, which I passed through 2 small (about 1/8") holes that I 
drilled in the rear fender (mudguard) The resevoir is thus visible at all 
times for easy checking of level, and filling. It is important to have the 
outlet tube of the oiler drip on the outside of the chain about 1/2" behind 
where it meets the rear sprocket to minimize splashing  to the brake disc, 
which is only 4" away. As the instructions point out, the oil will pass 
towards the inner side of the chain by capillary action. I think having the 
disc that close to the rear sprocket is a design error inherent in the 
single-sided swing arm, as some oil inevitably gets to the disc, no matter 
what kind  or method of lubrication is used. Dave Collins, San Diego
