never ever go cheap on the only bit of kit that keeps it all together.
always buy oem filters,because if it dont flow as it should your buggerd.
think how much you spend on the bike,the bling,and other stuff.

just my opinion. :lol:

Good deal? Would anyone recommend?

Not a bad price and the Motul will be fine .. personally I'd always stick to an OEM filter as all the engine builders tend too.

I use Motul but it's the Factory Line stuff. If you are looking for a relatively good deal, give HPS a ring  :icon_thumright:

The oil is fine, it's probably what you get at the dealers when it's serviced, but I'm with the others when it comes to filters, the oem is probably going to be the best, and they aren't that dear.  In fact they cost about the same as the postage on that deal, so I'd tend to ride to a dealers and pick it up and save the postage. 

What I did buy off ebay was an oem filter with filter wrench, the fluted cap that fits over it and plugs into a 3/8" drive socket, worth it's weight in gold, the manual requires it to be more than hand tight when you put a new filter on, and the wrench is the only way you can torque it properly, the screwdriver method leaves it leaking :lol:
