Anybody recommend where to purchase a magnetic oil filter to attract any internal metal parts for a bagger?

 

YOU DONT NEED IT. THE MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG IS ENOUGH.

 

thanks Mack. Overkill?

 

Overkill. The filter will capture the metal particles that come through it- that's its job.

 

If you still want one, stick a cheap refrigerator magnet to the side of the filter after you screw it on. They are usually thin and pliable enough. Not saying it will help that much, especially with the magnetic drain plug already, but if you REALLY want one......

 

I disagree.
While I don't use a magnatic filter, I do place magnets in the filter.

The oil drain plug is really only effective after the bike is off and the oil and debree settles. You are better off with a magnet in the oil path at a much more narrow point. The filter.

Having very strong, very small magnets helps trap more metal. Traping more is better.

You can find them on-line and in many dealers. Two little strong magents for $6. Cheap insurance.

What do you magnet users do when the metal debris itself becomes magnatized from magnet use and the debris starts clinging to internal parts over time? Just wondering. I wouldn't use one if it was given to me. Gimmick and a bad one I might add.[&:]IMO.

 

It's the classic , one born everyday. Don't forget there's aluminum, and bronze in the oil too . 30 micron is about .0015" and the 96" engine requires a 5 micron. Anything thats smaller than the clearance of the moving parts will not cause wear. Works for me. Engines make metal and it can't be stopped.
