I have just got an 03 Tiger that already has fitted to it, a scottoiler. The reservoir is attached to the frame tube at the bottom of the left hand side panel, and is awkward to refill. Where do you have your reservoir fitted, and how easy is it to get at?

Hi Skidpan

I've got mine in the same place, and yes, it's a pain to fill and readjust, but well worth it apart from that - I wouldn't want to be without it. I've been looking at buying the touring reservoir you put behind the numberplate, this is an upgrade option for the smaller Scottoilers. Only slight problem is moving the number plate light back to still illuminate your rear plate, but reckon it will be well worth it to not have to take panels off every 4-500 miles...

I haven't fitted mine yet but thats where i intend to put mine. I have also got the Scottoiler Lube Tube which should fit under the seat and give extra distance between fills and will be much more accessable

I've made a stainless steel bracket which locates to two screws on the final drive sprocket cover. Easy to fill and adjust flow rate.

That sounds like a good idea, do you have any pix?
