I got my Scottoiler about 18 months ago and installed it without much hassle. I actually rivited a channel on the inside of the swingarm to guide and protect the feed tube. I found it interesting that my directions said to direct the feed tube on the center of the chain directly in front of the rear sprocket. This was somewhat of a pain because the chain would grab the small dripper tube and rip it out of the larger feed tube. I run my chain pretty loose, the chain and I both like it that way! I recently saw some other Scottoiler info that had the small distribution tube running on the outside edge of the rear sprocket. I changed mine to that configuration and it's a vast improvement. Not so much slinging, it evenly lubes the chain, even if it looks like it's pointed at only one side - I think there's plenty of action when the Tiger's eating up pavement - the tube's not been ripped out since I did that, and the setting at about "3" seems to work on hot and cold days. Yes, we get cold in Arizona, too. I run Tourance tires and am on my second front, third rear. I like'um a lot! I also run a 19T that I got from Baxter Cycle in Iowa. The distances we need to cover out here in the west make those 500 extra revs well worth it!
