Title: '72 B50SS Oil Filter Query
Post by: Geoff72B50SS on 21 Jun, 2018, 19:56
Searched without success for a definitive answer.

My B25SS (back in '71) had a canister oil filter setup on (I think) one of the rear engine mounts.

My question is: Can I fit similar set-up on the B50SS I currently run? Can the B25 version be fitted?

If the answer is "no" I have seen many propriety brands of external oil filters that can be fitted to Brit Bikes. Has anyone done this to a B50SS? If you have, can you share the knowledge with me please?

Many thanks

The B25 set up is shown and hangs down from the rear engine plates. I'll double check on my B25/B50's later but I don't think there is any reason why this type of filter, or something similar, can't be fitted to your B50 in a similar way. The reason it wasn't fitted is that the B50 has a roller bearing big end rather than the plain bearing on the B25.

Many thanks,
I think I'll definitely look into fitting one. Clean oil is always better than ruddy stuff.
