    Hi folks. Found this forum while searching for info on fitting a Scottoiler to my 08 America. Just put new chain and sprockets on but I'm lazy and forgetful when it comes to lubing chains so thought I'd automate it ☺

    Here's my America, taken at the first Ride of Respect to Wootton Bassett in 2010. Now sporting shorter TORs.
    Oh, and I just fitted the Scottoiler so yah boo to lubing the chain by hand in future :)

    Hi mate and welcome. I'm do for chain maintenance on the Bonneville tomorrow :triumph:. I tried EP90 a week ago and it really came out brilliantly, I could even hear the difference whilst driving but as I suspected it flung everywhere despite moderate application and standing for a week. Will revert back to my Motorex wax for now.

    I have a mate who swears by 90 weight gear oil brushed on after each ride while the chain is warm, but like you say it flings all over the shop.
