That's because everybody KNOWS you aren't smart enough to dig it up on
your own without adult help.

Really You assume much another proof of how mentally challenged you
are...I'd put your pathetic iq at around MAYBE 82.

Not really you just have improved your comprehesion skills above that

There you go again thinking you know what you are talking about when
you patently don't. Not surprising coming from a military reject that
got fired from grumman because he could run a vacume cleaner.

You forget...I've a stock DR370 in the garage. IF I'd spring for all
new control cables and the clutch plates it would be ridable as long
as you like straight exhaust (which I do not) That part is going to be
a chore.

After reading all the replies, I'm kinda sorry I asked. ;)
The bike has a re-useable (washable) filter located at the bottom of
the c'case. Nothing from the side. K&N, HiFlo, and other's filters do
not fit. The O.D. of the filter they say will fit is larger then the
hole in the c'case. I prefer a disposable filter. Anyone help?

Who is "they" ?
If the engine doesn't have a provision for a disposable filter,
whether it is a cartridge type or a spin-on, it could be pretty
hard if not impossible to retrofit one. Why not simply use what
you have and change the oil every 1500 miles? Lots of engines
work just fine with rudimentary screen filters if you change the
oil and clean the screen often enough.

I should know this but I'm going to ask...
Would it make a difference if it were a detergent or non-detergent
oil? For the life of me I can't recall...must be getting senile or
something. 8^(
