I started out with my dispenser just in front of the where the chain meets 
the sprocket, and found that lubrication of the brake disc (only 4" from the 
sprocket) resulted. I then extended the delivery tube so that it dripped on 
the left side (or           
 outside) of the chin about 1/2" behind where the chain meets the sprocket. 
This is the way the Scottoiler instructions show it in their illustration, 
and the sprocket should minimise splashing to the disc. Even though the oil 
is applied  only to one side of the chain, it readily passes to the other 
side by capillary action.
I put my oil resevoir just in fron of the left side of the licence plate 
attaching it with zip ties  (bracket not needed) to the plastic mudguard 
(fender) after boring 2 small holes in the plastic. In this position it is 
inconspicuous, but easy to inspect and replenish without removinhg the seat 
or fairing. Dave Collins, San Diego
