Yep, if my ScottOiler ever fails I will give John a call and simply
retrofit his HawkeOiler to the ScottOiler reservior.

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.

Hey all,
The chain-oiler thing has been on my list for a while. I note that the
Scottoiler and the Hawkeoiler are roughly equal in price. Given that,
what
would recommend one over the other?
Thanks,
Mike
