Hey Kevin, Mike and others, Sorry haven't kept up with the list for awhile, but caught your thread on Scott Oiler. I have had the Touring version of ScottOiler for couple years now; installed easy, and fine for around town riding. But for long distance rally's, I couldn't ever get it right- either too much or not enough and would loose prime. Gee, do I hear an echo? John Laurenson's Hawke oiler solved that. I just installed his pump in the space where the SO cylinder (with the metering valve on top) went, tossed it and the vacuum line. In fact that's my tailpiece picture on his web site. Kept the Touring tank (behind the license plate) and rest of plumbing. Works great and you can use heavier weight oil that doesn't fling off so easy. So if you have a ScottOiler, easy conversion and well worth it and if you don't have, one HawkeOiler is much better, IMHO. -- Dave Biasotti // Fremont, CA Dir of Procurement, LSI Logic Corp 93 GTS-1000 // 83 Honda CX650Turbo > Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 12:46:54 -0500 > From: Kevin Hawkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Scot toiler > > Do you expect everything to work as well as your Heat-Troller?!!??!

I note that the Scottoiler and the Hawkeoiler are roughly equal in price. Given that, what would recommend one over the other? Thanks, Mike
