I know we've discussed this in the past, and most of us are already adding some sort or chemical to our 20% ethanol laced gas. Although at this point after watching "Pump" not sure how bad e85 really is. It seems to actually have significant benefits. Anyhow, I saw this oiler on ebay and thought, a smaller version would be really cool for our bikes. Only foreseeable problem would be splitting it among 4 ports. I don't know how much gasoline (or ethanol) breaks down marvel or lucas upper cylinder lubricant, but I assume having a light mist of it right onto the intake valves and into the cylinder would work better for cooling and lubrication. What do you think? http://www.ampcolubes.com/

If you want some extra top end lubrication why not add a little 2 stroke oil or other compatible additive to the gas?
