Scottoiler and Auto-com Fitting

[Welshman]

Started fitting autocom and scottoiler today.

Put them both uder the back seat as there was enough room. Will have to put tool kit in tank bag!

Had to take the tank off to run the cable to the Garmin sat-nav and the vacum pipe to the connetor.

Hell you need to take all the plastic bits off around tank to get at the 2 bolts either side, more bolts then on my old Sprint.

Postion on bike where to fit adaptor plate which I got free of Scottoiler, well I did have the old one off other bike and only needed adaptor plate.

  ..and like the pics. I'm curious to know where exactly you connected the scottoiler vacuum to. On their site scottoiler identify a vacuum point 'spigot on the throttle body'. Did you use that or decide on another point, and why?   

[Welshman]

Vacuum point is in same place where they say on right hand side of bike. Will take pic for you and post!

[Frenchie]

Thanks. I've identified the spigot on mine but Its always good to see what it actually looks like completed. I'm going to buy a scottoiler tomorrow.. 

Also.. are you using Scottolier red oil or something else ?

[Welshman]

Just in case someone else wants to know! There's  green oil and red oil for the hot summer that we are going to be having. I am using red oil from last year , so just turn up adjustor to 4 0r 5 number otherwise no 2- 3 would do for green oil.

Wanna do mine when it arrives?

 Mine is on order along with the adaptor plate for tiger, ordered the tiger adaptor for free from the nice people at scottoiler and getting the v kit for less than £70 from Laguna, bargain. Looks like when triumph designed some parts of the bike they had the idea that people would want to fit them as it does seem to have been made easy.

apart from the high capacity reservoir that is - got one fitted behind the number plate on my Fazer, but seems that the rear end of the tiger is too flimsy. not so good for long distances if you've gotta carry a 500ml bottle with you.
