Changing an oil filter MY way

Here's the blurb for those re-usable SS mesh type

Bypass is in the filter itself and I checked flow pressures after I fitted a spinon filter quite a few years ago.
Absolutely NO problems and better than the original single layer paper filter

Check the turboed bike at 3.45 on this vid,  apparently had one of those  aftermarket re-usable wire-mesh filters you see advertised as having a higher flow rate whilst filtering smaller particles...  Plays havoc with the bikes oil filter spring by-pass and drops the oil pressure when the oil gets hot/thin

Don't have to modify the nut that holds the cover on when it can't be grabbed any more......
I've had the old Tkat one on now for about ummm forgot 
The ones I have now are courtesy of MadBill in Germany.
Filters are so cheap, I put on a new one every 2nd change,,maybe 3rd.
Just makes changing the filter easier as you get older (hard to get down there now)
Also I think that the filters may be a bit better now than the old air cleaner looking filter from 30 years ago.
Strength? don't know never put it to the test but I guess it would not be hard to knock up a cover.

how much of a hiding does that thin wall on the filter get from the front trye,,

 I spose a small rubber flap in front might protect it on our roads up here,, dirt roads and rocks and sundry

and the cost factor??

Motor is on a stool for a demo and ready to by packed and shipped but you will get the idea.



I forgot to mention I have had some adapter plates made up
