If anyone's still using the short oil filters, Aprilia Performance have 100 in stock.

Give them a ring on (01827) 285500

'Scuse my ignorance but why would we not be using short oil filters? :smt017

Surely a long one won't fit, or have I missed another trick?

I've moved over to the new one but as I still have the old cover I could actually use either.

aprilia picked a fight with the original manufacturer....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

They couldn't pay the original manufacturer, champion?, so had to go somewhere that would give them credit and they new supplier came back with the newer longer fitting. See I do try to pay attention even though I sit at the back :smt001

K&N still do the short one too, probably a bit more expensive than some of the other brands

I reckon that once the mafia owned all the sidestand, lever and indicator factories they started working on making everything else stick out.
