Welcome, Jim. Yeah, sometimes we talk to much, but that's OK, 'cause we all
love this bike be it red, blue, green, black or some other color.
The benefits of auto chain oilers is this: set it and mostly forget it.
Coming off a shaftie, I wasn't too enthralled with the idea of having to do
chain lubing again. I've gotten the problems I had with my ScottOiler
sorted out and I'm very happy with it. I've seen the drawings for John's
oiler and it looks great too. Had his been available when I purchased,
perhaps I would have gotten his. Since mine is working fine at this time,
I'm not interested in fixing what ain't broke.
> on other notes. i occassionaly get a low oil pressure light when riding.
I'm sure others have pointed it out: the light isn't oil pressure, but oil
level, and it can sometimes show the level is going down, but it typically
happens during high speed riding (I'd say above 80 MPH) for extended
periods.
As for Corbin: I hate them. Vastly over-rated IMHO. They totally failed to
do what I asked them to do (though it was many years ago), and I think
they're over-priced to boot. I'm having Rick Mayer, of Rick Mayer Saddles
redo mine later in the summer, while we're away on vacation. Rick is a
one-man operation and you can talk to him...try doing that with Corbin.
