R65 oil filter query

[Bob_Roller]

I bought 12 oil filters about a year after getting the R65, it got them from Albuquerque Filterworks, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

If you bought 12 or more, the filters were $3US each, and free shipping, this is when Purolator ( I think!) was the OEM supplier for BMW motorcycle oil filters ( air filters also).

So I may have gotten the last of the original type filters, didn't buy anymore until 1989, from Competition Accessories.

I bought my last batch from Eurotech Motorsports, they were Mahle and several dollars less than the local Stealer wanted...  The last one I bought from BMW Motorcycles of Ft. Worth was an even $20 with the tax.  This was not for the filter kit but just the filter...

I just checked Eurotech and their page states they are now wholesale only and referred retail Airhead customers to:

I checked out the site and they have the Mahle filters...

After owning a BMW cage for 7 years, I've found that Mahle, and Mann are high quality filters for the cages, and I've seen the same manufacturers name on bike filters as well.

I wouldn't have any qualms about using either in either of the bikes.

I started using them because the OEM BMW filter is a Mahle, even has the Mahle part number inscribed on it.  I use Mann filters in the Volvo...
