Ducati Oil Filter Connection?
So, I'm looking to purchase a case of Ducati oil filters for my Evo. Do y'all recommend anyone in particular for a "case price" or should I just go to any Ducati dealer?
Thanks, guys.

X2 as the K&N even has the little hole at the end of it so it's easy to safety wire when you go to the track

+1 on the K&N as they also have the nut on the end so you can use a regular socket wrench to remove and install (and torque to spec.) On my hyper the dealer originally had the ducati -brand oil filter on so tight I had to resort to pucturing it with a screwdriver to remove.

These fit a Ducati. All but the Elefant. I've ordered them through the local NAPA store. Good filter.
The last ones I got were actually made in England. Go figure...

(I had gotten the crossover number off of a Fiamm filter Ducati sent my buddies shop 25 years ago.)

I have run a similar filter on my 2005 CRF450R since it was new. Yes, you can see any debris easily. The issue I see is the cost. For the CRF it was only $30 or so since it didn't require the machined aluminum housing.
I have to admit it's the bling factor that I like!
