Oil Filters

[RoyC]

Does anyone make an external oil filter for A7 A10 ?

Thanks,
Roy.

Cannot believe you haven't found some of the discussions here about oil filters; the subject comes up quite often!!
 
Seems the most common type of oil filter is known as a Norton Commando filter but it's a generic filter housing that uses a fairly common filter canister. That filter will fit into the toolbox of swing-arm machines but folks have fitted them in other places. On the plunger the toolbox is too small for the filter so I mounted it on the front of the rear mudguard, just behind the gearbox.

Here is one supplier: http://www.norbsa02.freeuk.com/goffyoil.htm

Thanks for that. I knew that I had seen one somewhere.
Looking at it (£48.50 + £5.95 P&P) it looks simular to one on ebay for

That one on ebay is the one I have fitted to my swinging arm A7 it is fitted inside the tool box but you will have make up a suitable mounting bracket and drill holes in the back for the oil pipes.

I was considering drilling two bolt holes and mounting it inside and directly onto the back face of the toolbox, and two grometed holes for the pipes.
I will sus it out when it arrives.

Roy let us know if the filter mount you get sent is made by RGM.


Have a look here, they sell the complete RGM kit and also parts for it separately (note: excluding vat prices):-

Will do Roger, certainly looks the same body.

Here is a photo of my oil filter as fitted to my A7 there is still room for a few tools and inside the regulator cover I have fitted a DVR2 electronic regulator.

[RogerSB]

Bob, that's a neat compact job. Is your filter mount stamped RGM?
I like to keep a tool roll in there and my DVR2 is mounted exactly where your's is but not in a regulator cover. I've been thinking I should look at fitting an oil filter to my GF and seeing yours is taking up so little room makes it all the more likely.

[bikerbob]

Yes it is RGM with a number 063139. It is a while since I fitted it and took the pipes out of the back and I believe I had to cut a corner off of the battery carrier to allow the pipes to clear.

[RogerSB]

Bob, many thanks for your quick reply and that bit of additional info - always good to be forewarned.

It is RGM.

[RogerSB]

Many thanks Roy. Will buy one.

If its a Norton filter it will be good.
