[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 132039, member: 2708"] BSA offered these as an option on the A10 Super Rocket and possibly earlier A10s. My 63 SR has it and it is excellent. There is no chain oiler, just a slight weep from the trans that works it's way onto the chain. A standard chain and sprockets fully housed and lubricated with gear oil lwill last a long, long time. It seems good enough to be a Vincent idea. I believe some Ariels had this feature as well. With the BSA, when removing the wheel, the chaincase, chain and rear sprocket all stay put, the wheel drops away. The rear wheel and tire stay very clean. Makes you wonder why that system wasn't adopted as standard in the motorcycle industry. Perhaps cost. The tin work is quite involved to allow for pivoting of the swing arm and sliding the sprocket for chain adjustment. Glen [/QUOTE]
