Remote oil filter installation

[Shifu]

Where are you actually planning on mounting it?
As someone already asked, will there be drainback issues, and is it particulate contamination that typically determines if oil is at the end of it's servicable life?

The filter is mounted under the rear seat's cowling. I will post some pictures once I finish. Drain back is as much of an issue as with your standard filter. It is only a loop between main and sub galleries so the the check valve on the standard filter still works the same way as before preventing oil from draining into the sump. I am going to do oil analysis every 5000km and the results will determine the change intervals. Information from the manufacturer suggests (apparently basedon tests) that the oil changes are not necessary but I am not convinced. While the base will last forever, the additives package will eventually break down. Will see.

Thanks everyone for their input. It seems we have more philosophers than mechanics among our midst
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to respond.

This is the set up i'm about to run on my Chev

I heard a lot of good feedback about the setups like you are planning to do. Some are not sure about the performance of Amisol filters but I have not seen any real performance data. You are lucky to have so much room under the bonet. The Trabolt filers are really designed for cars and trucks. I believe it will be first bike with it. And maybe last
