Scottoiler

[Lincsman]

Well after lots of fun and no blue air  I managed to get the oh so easy tank off, what a joy it was too. I've found the vacuum pipes as most of you here will more than likely know, I'll post some pictures here as a future member might want to know where they are. Thanks again to you all for your help and advice. I might cut into the left one, then again looking at the space available, I might do the right one instead. Picture 1 is the left side.

That's the one. Glad you're sorted

Well I've ordered my  surprise gift from the Sportsbike shop, but only after I found it cheaper on Amazon, emailed them and they reduced the price. They are an amazing company to deal with, I, like many here I guess, have bought quite a few thinks from them, and I just can't fault them, nothing seems to be too much trouble when you pop in the store, and try endless things on. Other company's would do well to take a leaf out of their book.
It comes on Monday.

Hi. I wondered how you got on with the Scottoiler installation? I have fitted one to my 2017 DL650AX. I could not see it working in the position suggested on the S.O. website so fitted it behind the right hand side panel. This took some devious drilling through the plastic moulding and the scottoiler holder but holds the resevoir at a better angle while still allowing relatively easy filling and adjustment.
I cut into the right hand vacuum hose on the airbox which seemed to work well and , yeah, about an hour and a half to get the tank off! Whole job took about 4 hours.
