[QUOTE="RichDoyle, post: 1155805, member: 84694"] For filter changes, I have a short plastic offset funnel I picked up at some hardware store or other and cut it to fit under the filter. I have a similar challenge (and a similar solution) when changing the filter on my airplane, given the placement of the filter and other stuff around it. I agree, this is a really convenient setup. My previous bike (Honda NT700) wasn't too bad BUT it is possible to get a 3rd-party filter that is listed for the bike but is a little too long. It installs fine, so what's the problem? Well: The bike has to be on the centerstand to install the filter. The filter sticks out behind the engine. If the filter is too long, when you put the centerstand up, it rips a hole in the filter.[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/fool.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
