Can't help with the brake pads in your other post but a quick search reveals

The oil filter is a very common part across many different makes of engine. I tend to use HiFlo HF303 that I get trade, the same filter fits all 5 of my bikes. Other brand options include Fleetguard (Cummins) LF3925, Donaldson P502067, Alco SP1002, Wix 51358. I'd steer clear of the Baldwin B1400, Baldwin filters are notoriously cheap and nasty. You'll find that most OEM filters are made by the likes of Donaldson, Fleetguard or Alco.

I've just noticed that the Donadlson P502067 is £4.97 inc VAT here https://www.alexisfilters.co.uk/p502067.html not a bad price (half that of eBay) but I didn't investigate as far as postage costs.

Loads of filters fit - they are fairly standard. HF303 fitment is easy to google alternatives. I have used Yamaha FZ6 filters before, as they are half height and allowed me to run a Mocal sandwich plate for an oil cooler...

I assume that as you are using a half size filter CMSMJ1, you are reducing your service intervals accordingly?

I was back in the day - as I actually used the old moto! If it has moved more than 300 miles in the last 5 years I'll be amazed. :o :ban:

I really should put it into a road spec and use the thing - I am too precious of my old mate now to kill it on track again
