I know somebody asked long ago but I forgot what the answer was, I'd like to install one on my '82 KZ550A, everything is the same, same filter, same bolt, same everything, that would be nice. I'm thinking they'd say no because no testing was done with other bikes? And because of that liability issues maintain they have to say no?
I'm thinking only way to know would be a simple "try it" answer, I'd do it without torquing and sealing, just to see if the thing pinches up and doesn't crunch anything.
I can attest as having a couple of the "first" experimental ones to test out, that there were internal oil pan differences in the filter area/cavity that were on the pre-94 bikes, differing from the post 94 that Dan used for the first units production. The cavity in the pre94's was smaller, and had tapered sides, and the unit would wedge up before it got tightened fully home. Dan re-vamped the o.d of the spoofak body to fit all years for the current production....
I have one of the old ones still I believe, lemme dig it out and I'll drop it off to ya to try out. If I can remember which box out of the 100, I packed it in when we moved back up here....
now ya got me wondering if they fit my old 78 KZ 1000 Ltd....
hmmmm.....
