i've been told (and it makes sense) that when a new bike is being "run in" it creates the most debris / metallic particles at any time in its life... so would it be sensible to up the standard oil filter to one of these magnetic ones (see link)??? are there other options?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4620416273& sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT |

I HAVE ONE. CAME FROM SCOTTS PERFORMANCE. LOOKS TO BE THE EXACT SAME THING. I'VE RUN IT SINCE NEW AND AM AMAZED AT WHAT IT CATCHES IN THAT FILTER. IS IT WORTH THE MONEY? I THINK SO. IS IT BETTER THAN REG. OIL FILTERS? I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. IT DOES LOOK SWEEET THOUGH AND IS DIFFERENT. IT CAN BE USED FROM ONE BIKE TO THE NEXT. THERE IS AN ADAPTOR FOR EACH SPACIFIC BIKE. THE MAIN "CAN" IS THE SAME FOR ALL OF THEM. IMHO...ME LIKES IT. |

Sure looks like the scotts unit to me. That ad is a little confusing in that it implies that one size fits Buells. It is a different part number for the tubers vs XB.

just read the blurb for the scott oiler and looks almost the same.... also seems like a fairly good idea on a new bike to help prevent too much engine wear )..... even it is a little pricey! |
