you can make one out of a 2 liter soda bottle

 

I think this attaches a little better thena 2 literwill. I have tryed a couple of different things, without much luck and anything to keep the bike clean is a good investment to me.

 

That is just what the Doctor ordered!!

 

Think I will stick with using the 2-liter bottles.
With Michigan's $0.10 bottle deposit I can buy a lot of 2-liters for what that cost.
Let us know if it works as promised.

 

Can you let us know how well it works when you get it?

 

Give us a update , It sucks when oil gets all over the place around filter.

 

I sure can, but it'll be a while before I will need to cange the oil in the old girl. Winters just getting started [:@]But, in the spring it won't take me long at all before it'll need to be changed!

 

Looks OK but I have forward controls and usually just fold up some heavy duty aluminum foil. The foil oil filter cradle works well enough.
Plus no cleaning , just throw it away.

 

Our Evo and TC are EFI. It is supposed to not work with EFI units and crank sensor. I have found that if the bike is level, andher trike is when I change oil, that even my EVO looses so little oil thru the filter that a wad of paper towels absorbs the spillage. Maybe I'm just lucky. I have heard oil waste on the motor mount is a killer. I have a bottle of Simple Green mixed up and spray the filter area after screwing on the new one right away. If you are interested in scavenge, the soda bottle and an Ice pick in the filter end are supposed to work well. Then remove you old filter.

I think the unit as advertised for non EFI TC should do the job well. Keep in mind, if the bike is on the jiffy stand there is going to be more oil in the old unit.
