885i oil filter

[swappy]

Anyone got a part number for a oil filter for a 1999 Tiger 885i, not the triumph part number but one from champion or some other manufacturer. I've ptcked one up from halfords but it is smaller in diameter, unless the one that's on isn't correct, anyway thought I might be able to pick one up locally from a local motor factors instead of paying stealers prices, but they don't list bike spares on their computers.

Would prefer to fit OE oil filters as they are made to a standard.
Most motor factors will have a book on fitment sizes, ie, thread and filter body size.
Fram Purolator, HF to name a few all make a filter to suit but by the time you have done the research it will have cost more than the tenner for the original!!

Took your advide metalguru and bought a genuine triumph filter and sump plug easher for less than a tenner from a local dealer, then brought a 65mm filter wrench but the wrench wouldn't fit the Hiflow filter that was on the bike fitted by previous owner so then had to buy a 68mm filter wrench to fit that so i could remove it. After removing the filter and comparing it to the new one there was no physical differences just the size of the wrench required  .
Anyways problem solved bike now got new oil and filter, previous owner said he had done both the day before i brought the bike but looking at the oil i removed i doubt it .
I will stick to genuine filters from now on, at least i have a couple of nice filter wrenches.

Not sure if you can get these in the UK or not but FRAM part number is PH6017A.  KN-204 fits and it has a 17mm nut on top for easy removal.  K&N will tell you that KN-192 is correct filter but it is not.  It is a paper element.  I even went so far as to contact K&N and they told me that I was wrong.  That I must have an aftermarket kit adapter to a spin on.  Wrong.

K&N 191 ... Get em on Ebay and occasionally they have them at Cyclegear.  Nut on top ( or bottom as its mounted ) for easy on and off. $15 at CGear ( saw it there yesterday after I bought on on ebay for about the same shipped .. Save on 2 filters or more..
