I have decided to give a go for the Trabld oil filter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V6PHdUcl7o) on my bike 2010 model. It is a remote installation and I have left the original filter still in place and prefer not to make unreversible changes to the engine (drilling new holes or changing the original threads etc.) and not very keen on cutting the holes in the fairing for clearance either just in case it will all turn a pearshape. So far I've managed to avoid all of the above but have a question to the members with more experience as far as the engine builds and oiling goes.
I am taking oil from the main gallery on the LH side (removing the factory pipe that supplies the oil to the sub-gallery and blocking the outlet) and returning it to the sub-gallery on the LH side where originally the oil hose to the cylinder head is attached (relocated it to the other side). So the oil will flow from the main gallery through the filter to sub-gallery. My question is whether this will be safe as far as sufficient supply to the sub-gallery (I am concerned a bit about the flow rate through that filter) and what sort of pressure drop between them would still be OK? Has anyone tried this before? Maybe turbo installations?
Any information/suggestions will be greatly apprecited. Will post some photos when done if anyone interested.
Cheers.
