Thanks GI was just looking at that same thread but wasnt sure if the A and C models used the same filter.
From my reading that size external filter is used and is common on many Japanese engines ...as in jet skis , ATVs etc
So my new Alpinestars jacket arrived at work this morning so i had to go for a little ride out at lunch and test it out. Took a few snaps of the beast parked up next to Kirra beach! Could barely make it out once a week in the UK! So nice living here and it being constant bike weather
Just to show the many applications of this filter .... http://www.motorcyclespareswarehouse.com.au/products/hiflo-hf303-oil-filter
