ugly oil filter

[FJReady]

Walmart ST7317, black, only slightly gay because you bought vanilla car freshener while you were there.

Just get a black yamaha filter and be done with it.

I was thinking the same thing. I barely notice my filter. Although the chrome cover looks sharp, I'd still just use the black one from Yamaha.

I think you should cut the top off a Budweiser can and slip it on.

I like it! :thumbsup:

I was looking at that oil filter sticking out the side of my bike the other day and thought, there's got to be a way to cover that thing. So i shopped around and found a cover made by Arlen Ness for a Yamaha XV1600 Roadstar that has almost the same size filter. The FJR's filter is about a 1/4 inch longer, but you can't really tell once you have the cover on.

So what do you think?

I don't know what looks worse, the white filter or the chrome paint can.

DRINK Bud? Why? Because the fuckin' store was out of BEER?

Bud = piss (and that's being generous!)

My ghod....I'm gonna have to start more seriously questioning some of the opinions offered up here......

Guinness, Newcastle, Boddingtons, Sapporo, Pilsner Urquell.....Bud?!??!?? Even Amstel is better than Bud and that's a diet beer. Sheesh.....

American beer = making love in a canoe.

Nevermind this whole "threesome with the tailpipes" thing..... :glare:

I was simply pointing out the process. Didn't say I actually drank it.

In actuality, I am not a fan of drinking bud. And to put this idea to the best possible end result, extensive testing must occur. I mean, not all cans are the same exact size, nor would all labeling color schemes be flattering to each particular bike.

I think I will take this problem to the fine folks at EOM and see if I can enlist a bit of help in seeking the most attractive solution.

And I swear, we'll not stop till this job is done!

The whole FJR world is counting on you, Scab. God speed in your vital experimentation.

Sometimes, you just gotta take one for the team. It's tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.
