for those that dont have the time ,or skills i highly recommend bluegauges to them scott hooked me up and did a outstanding job with a quick turnaround .
actually the scotts is way better than a paper filter and it filters finer particles than paper can handle and for those that occasionally ride in the cold it also lets oil flow without activating the bypass that cuts in when oilflow is too low in cold weather which can let unfiltered oil passing through your engine ,its a investment well worth it. no paper filter can compare.
i dont know about you guys i wouldnt put a cheap filter in the heart of of my bike i use a scotts and its better than any paper element out there or synthetic ,,and you dont have to but filters again.... ever its aso rebuildable wnd can be fitted on other bikes if you change bikes in the future ,if you add up the cost of ten filters ,even cheap ones the scotts still comes out the cheaper deal with better filtering to boot,but its your choice in the end
