I just saw this web site and it looks like a good idea.They have an oiler that operates from engine vacuum and one that is electric. Anyone try one of these yet?

Yes.
The Scottoiler is popular on (non sport) streetbikes. Doesn't work well on a dirtbike / small DS.
Flow rate off the vacuum is hard to control. Never tried the electric.
I had great luck with the much cheaper / low-tech 'lubeman'. Use whatever fluid you wish & give the bottle a squeeze at the beginning of the day. At the end of the day the chain looks great, with very little mess.

oh yes, low tech is often the way to go. http://www.loobman.co.uk
hmm, I got an empty squeeze type chain lube bottle at home...
seriously, the kit is a great value vs. DIY.
or are you a closet BMW rider too?

Yeah, that looks like a fantastic little thing. Hopefully they keep making the original squeeze model; it looks like the "Loobman AB" might not be appropriate for Dualsport riding (yet).
I had one on a street bike, works great. Dirt bike, probably not so much.
