I'm going to need to replace my oil and filter soon, and I'm looking for advice on filter brands. Looks like most that I've seen on Amazon are names I've never heard of before except for K&N.
I've also heard that there is a kit available to convert it to a common automotive spin on filter like the 700. Is this a good idea?

I forgot, I'm looking for fork seals, seems that there are a lot of no-name ones on ebay, (I admit I haven't tried the local Honda dealer.) Any advice?

With the amount of labor involved, I would NOT CHEAP OUT on the parts.
I got mine from All Balls, but OEM would be a great choice as well.

Next time (if ever) I have to change fork seals, I am also going to get the special tool seal drivers because messing around with makeshift PVC pipe sucked for me. Even if I never used the tool again I would pay for the right tool, and that could be aftermarket (Motion Pro or a knock-off)
