Fitting chain oiler to CB500...where?

I will be getting a chain oiler for the CB500 (1994 model). Probably one of the Tutoro dual models, manual but fitting an extra tap just so I can leave the flow setup and just turn on/off.

Anyhow wanted some advice on fitting based on peoples experience. I can see it maybe fitting on the frame down tube. Any other possibilities?

The black frame tube I'm talking about...

I've got a Scottoiler underneath the seat compartment which reaches the chain and it also kept out of sight on my 1994 CB500. If you take the seat off you'll see that there's a space underneath there which should fit the Tutoro dual. If you want a pic I should be able to get one later tonight.

I have a scott oiler for sale and live 15 mins outside york. Not sure how much it's worth but am pretty sure all the bits are there. PM if you're interested - come round for a cuppa and a dekko.

I have a PD Oiler i fitted behind the left side seat fairing.

I don't remember exactly (been a while now since i was doing the research for chain oilers) but do the tutoro oilers only work when they are at a mostly vertical angle? In which case the part of the frame you have already suggested would properly be the best place for it.
