stainless steel oil filters

[Amber Lamps]

I keep not buying this and I'm not sure why... I guess that like OSP I don't plan to keep a bike long enough to make it worth while. Of course that's stupid considering that my last 4 or 5 bikes used the same filter! Not to mention that it's my understanding that most Japanese bikes can use the same filter.

Ill stick with synthetic media. I find it hard to believe that metal that is used for "screening" is better at"filtering." Of course its going to flow better. It doesn't filter, it screens the oil.


I could use the material you'd find on your window screens as an air filter for my bike, but I like to take care of my bike.


I'm goig to take a guess that jets us SS filters cause they need to last and the fluid is under a ton of pressure.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that they use more than one filter...besides, comparing a jet/jet turbine against a motorcycle engine is similar to comparing my bike's engine to a steam locomotive's...not even close to an apple to apple comparison.
