I want a external oil filter

Where could I find a external oil filter like the one in the pic? It would add oil capacity, would filter better than the internal filter and it would be soooo much easier to change.

K&N offers remote oil filter kits....I bought one for my 3.0L Toy 4x4 pick-em-up several years back.
Can't recall what I spent for it though. :huh:

if you are thinking about running a remote oil filter
on a 900/1000 i would strongly advise against it,the 900/1000's do not make enough oil pressure to use one of these filters.

I agree with fastest these bikes only make 2to3 psi oil pressure.the burning question on my mind is what kind of carb setup is that.

Recalling the OEM oil "by-pass" design which allows oil to flow around a dirty-clogged-blocked filter so as to continue circulating throughout the engine, (unfiltered oil being better than no oil).

With this in mind, would want to assure the external filter also has a by-pass arrangement. :)

I beg to differ here. We ran a remote filter on a dragbike for 2 seasons with no ill effects. Although I doubt it would pass tech now ,it did allow for a small amount more oil but we did it to have easy access to the filter for changes.
