    Dominator Scottoiler location.

    The picture on the PDF download looks nothing like my M reg Dommie.
    I cannot see any logical place it would mount, other than on the engine bars I have fitted?

    Behind the mudguard don't seem like a very safe place, under the seat is impossible as no room and behind the side panels looks to tight and too near the exhausts.?

    Where has everyone else fitted them?

    I ended up fitting a touring kit behind the number plate on my old Dommie as I couldn't find anywhere to mount it either!

    I bought one ages ago for mine but have not yet worked out where to put it. Having said that I have been trying to fix the bike since last November when the camshaft went west. I live in hope that the oil pipes come this week and that the bike will be back on the road this weekend. Then I will look at fitting the oiler.

    They claim there's room under the seat for the small tank. The large tank - that will defenetly not fit.

    My cheaply built chain oiler (old syringe without plunger :P) is attached to the chain guard (cable ties :P)

    RC, do you find the OSCO any good?
    A lot of money...more than a scott oiler...

    Aren't cable ties a wonderful invention?

    Nice clean Dominator you have there.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    I found mine cheap.

    But yeah I like it. It doesn't use a lot of oil and still keeps the chain going well, without all the alleged fuss of scottoiler tuning and whatnot. (never had one, though I've heard all the horrorstories).

    Biggest drawback for me, now, is having to remember to pull the knob.

    (This because by now my main bike is the GS, with its shaft drive.)

    The OSCO is very well made, it's survived being knocked off the bike in a crash with hardly a scratch. It is a bit dear though if you pay list price...
