On the issue of Scottoiler , Duckmann and I have been toying with the idea of cutting a hole and mounting a rubber grommet on top of the chain cover and turning the oil breather tube around and let it self oil the chain....kinda kill two birds with one stone. Get rid of the hassle of cleaning the oil breather AND oiling the chain.....hmmmmm it could work.

Well spoken!

Yep, been using it ever since Motorcycle Consumer News did a chain lube test/survey a few years ago. Works great. Easy to apply and stays on the chain.
