Oil Filter size change

Post by sirch345 »

Has anybody else come across this change with a genuine Honda Firestorm oil filter :?: The latest version is now approximately 12mm shorter than the one it's replaced :!:

Just bought a lovely chromed one. Can't see it under the bellypan, but I know it's there :wink:
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
