Winter, whose chain oiler do you have?

Tutoro, wrote a review for it here: 

 

I like it, as it's fully automatic, but with no electronics or vacuum tie-ins.   Completely hassle-free, no electrical load, and no real potential for problems - if it fails in some way, even catastrophically, the worse thing that'll happen is that it spills a little bit of oil.  

I need it in the winter for sure - otherwise I'm cleaning my chain twice a week.  But to be honest, I love it - I've not cleaned or lubed my chain since ~March, and it stays nicely clean lubed pretty much all the time.  I'm experimenting with lower flow rates now that we're more in summer, but probably need to turn it back up a bit as even when it's hot here, it's not really hot.

Added a 24" Medium Gray Madstad shield for my comfort and a Yamaha factory rack and 39L Top Case for the passenger comfort (and additional storage).

I'm running a mineral hydraulic oil (with the ISO rating they recommend), mostly because:

A: It's exactly what the manual said to use if you can't use their oil, and

B: it's like $8 for 5 liters at the local Canadian Tire.  

More B than A

I fitted a Kriega US-20 bag to the bike. I don’t like tank bags (a personal thing) but I do  want to be able to carry a little more than what fits in my pockets. The US-20 works just fine.

Now I’m planning to remove the Yamaha GPS mount and replace it with a RAM mount. As soon as it stops raining over here I’ll measure the size of the steering bar to see what RAM mount would fit in the middel of the bar. I think the RAM-B-408-112-15U might fit but hey......measure twice, order once.

That’s a remarkable helmet. Looks like a stormtrooper helmet. What brand is this?

Well, the size of the bar is 1-1/8 inch which makes the RAM-B-408-112-15U just (really just!) to big. That RAM mount is for bar sizes 1.25 to 1.5. And the smaller version RAM-B-408-75-1U is for bar sizes 3/4 to 1 inch. And the Tracer bar is 1.13 inch. So either I go with the bigger one, which might lead to it not being able to stay steady or I go with the smaller one with the risk of it just not fitting. 😕

EDIT: I just found out the Dutch reseller made a mistake. The large one fits 1.125 bars.

I have one too, great bags and so easy to put on and off.

Have you considered this model?  I use them on different bikes and different locations on the bars, even on the bend area.
