Nice way to delete the Yamaha advertisement on the cover.

I also made a smaller version for the left side cover. Poor mans billet.

| How was the install of the kit? Now that you did it can it be done another way without the expense of the kit?

| I think the kit is something like $90.00 - I am trying to do a VERY low buck build so I was wondering if there was a more economical way of doing the conversion which looks AWESOME!

Machine it yourself. You can find the drawings here:

I'm pretty sure this is the guy who developed the original. He has two styles. The pressure side version is the one everybody uses.

I didn't check with any local machinist's but I doubt I could have saved any bucks trying that route. I wouldn't consider this a neccessary item for a low buck build but sometimes we just want something on our bikes anyway. I haven't changed my oil yet to see results of the filter but I'm happy with it for the roughly $100 I spent on mine.

I agree. I still may go with this "splurge"
