Indeed you do. . . . which is why I have a pocket full of aquarium air line fittings, and will be paying a visit to the local car tat yard soon :D
They now make an 'electronic sight-glass olier' - it costs just over £85 :eek:

Very cunning Guy, I think I'm going to simplify it and miss out the injector so I don't fry any expensive eletrical components while hacking the loom about (I'm good at doing things like that, usually I fix whatever it is needs fixing then have to fix whatever I broke while fixing the first thing!). I'll just use the aquarium valve to turn it on and off, I won't bother using it if I'm just nipping to work or down the shop but use it on any long runs. Even with a bought one you'd still want to keep an eye on it to make sure it's working properly so you'd still be ahead of the game in terms of cutting down the need to manually lube the chain and keeping it lubed on long trips.

you dont need to cut a single wire...

make a T piece of wire, with a male bullet on one end of the T, a female on the other, and the tail goes to the injector... stuff the T piece into the 'power' side of the brake light switch (so that as soon as you turn the bike on, it gets power, not as you hit the brakes... - easy way to identify whih one is which - the 'power' one will be the female on the bike loom / male on the switch wire)

or just stuff a bit of wire into the same connection and sitck it back together...

It draws 1 amp = 12 watts = an indicator bulb (roughly) - so not enough to overload your brake light wiring... caveat emptor..
