I picked up one of the Cobrra Nemo 2 Chain Oiler from the US distributor that I know from his excellent work on BMW K16. Herman's company is Wings & Wheels and he is the US distributor for several products from the EU. If you are looking for Wilbers shocks then he is the man to go to.
The Nemo 2 is a very well built chain oiler. It is very simple in execution and beautiful in design. Basically it is a mechanical semi-automatic chain luber. You mount the reservoir where you want, fill it, a quick twist pressurizes the dispenser nozzle and away you go. It is really that simple.
The reservoir holds enough oil for about 1,500 miles (so they say) and that will depend on riding conditions. In rain you'll want to lube more. The install is quite simple. I spent more time running the dispensing tubing and adjusting the nozzle than anything else. I mounted it to one bolts for the clutch lever, set the reservoir horizontal during riding and did a few test feeds. I think beginning to end it was about an hour total time. I could likely do it in 15 min though now that I know where I want to mount everything.
Now the lack of a centerstand isn't as much of a PITA since I don't need it to lube the chain now. I have very high hopes for this device. It looks very well constructed. It costs a bit more than the TUTOROs I've used on other bikes but I like that it uses a pressure feed so it will be less sensitive to oils used. No electrical stuff to deal with like the Scott lubers. For me it is like the Goldilocks of lubers.
It might be a touch more than I'd like to spend but after seeing the quality of it, the attention to detail and the "bling" factor, I am very satisfied with it. Being an anal retentive engineer about some things I do see where it could be improved a bit but overall it is pretty sweet.
I have reached out to Herman to see if he might be able to do some sort of group buy if there is enough interest. PM me or note your interest here. Since I've already bought mine (2 actually) no benefit for me but I'd be glad to help everyone else out. I'll be posting pics sometime in the next few days.
Here is the link to the item at Herman's website and the manufacturer's main web page. They are $149 retail.
