Well, I'm still off work and outside it still is like that


so I continue with my nonsense creations.

I made my self a DYI chain oiler. I've been making such basically for all my bikes using gardening taps and urinary tubes - local pharmacists are always looking strange at me Now, I decided to go the route, suggested by this fella:


The "tank" is actually brake fluid container from Lada (the most popular Russian car brand, for our distant readers):


The personal touch I threw in, comes in the form of a fuel cut-off valve, which is very widely used around here as part of car LPG conversion kits:


The "holder" role of the tube to the swingarm is performed by a shoe-polishing sponge box:



The container is on the right-hand side of the frame, while the valve and tap are bolted on the front of the air box:




Valve power supply I took from the positive pole of the rear brake switch, because it was most easily accessible, so now when I turn the ignition on, it opens up.

On a side stand, in the cold garage it works:


When the weather outside becomes more rideable I'll check it in real life conditions.
