Thread refresh.
I liked the "Grease Ninja" thing posted by Glennpm in post #15.
After washing the bike, needed to oil the chain, but wanted to avoid the blowby mess that occurs with the agressive foaming chain oils, that gets all over your freshly cleaned hub, rim, muffler, ...etc.
Got one of those spraycan trigger things, made a 1" channel from sheet aluminum, an extension bar, screws, rivets, 1/8" tubing.
Screw, rivet, assemble the thing onto the sprayer trigger.
Pop it onto a can of chain lube. The chain lube's schnozzle slides into the 1/8" tubing, which is aimed into the channel.
Fit it under the chain/sprocket from the rear.
Bend the extension bracket to get the height.
The channel surrounds the chain.
Spin the wheel backwards while pulling the trigger. The chain oil foams in the channel, wetting the chain. The wheel hub, rim, muffler, ...etc., all remain clean. Excess oil foams out the front of the channel, and puddles onto the ground.
The chain has been foam/flood lubed, the rest of the bike stays clean.
The floor's a mess, tho'...
