[QUOTE="JAY BIRD, post: 1410200, member: 1385"] After reviewing the Gen II Bin O Facts I purchased some Purolator PL14612 oil filters.(Thought I would same some money) I have used this filter in the past and it worked OK. on my 2005 and my 2011. I recently changed the oil and filter, torqued the filter to 12 lb ft, and went for a test ride. Thought all is good to go until I looked at the bike the next day, oil all over the floor. Thought maybe I torqued the filter incorrectly so I tried to increase the torque and realized the filter was metal to metal. Took the filter off and saw the the thread plate is now convex, crap my bad. Ordered some OEM filters and all is well, no leak at 12 lb ft. Not sure how the Bin O Facts gets updated but the PL14612 filter may need lined out like the PL14610 filter. [/QUOTE]
