cegan09 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'll have the engine up on a stand this week, and i'll take a look at what it would take to make an adapter. I don't think it should be that hard. If i can find a solution, and a place to make some at a decent price i'll let people know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cegan09 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 i wish i could find a picture of that part so i knew exactly what it was. i may still make my own, simply because i'm an engineer, and designing things is what i do. That said, i'll have someone with the correct tools make it so it looks a little nicer than the engine stand mounts i made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one on ebay a while a go (i missed it )- i think it looks like the filter mount with a different nipple on it -- basically the same thing only different thread - I was thinking of using the stock mount and welding another nipple on - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMaxima Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 There was one on eBay a while a go (i missed it )- i think it looks like the filter mount with a different nipple on it -- basically the same thing only different thread - I was thinking of using the stock mount and welding another nipple on - That was probably me or a buddy of mine (for his 74 TX500). I grabbed on off of eBay too for my 73 TX500. There is not a filter produced by Fram, Purolator, K&N, etc etc that has the correct threads and gasket base diameter. The stock Threads are M22 x 1.5MM, they just don't make them in the size we would need to cross reference them to another filter. The adaptor kit comes with a new base, gasket, washer, and oring. The new base has a groove cut into the filter gasket mounting surface to put the oring into. Then the washer goes on next, and then the new filter. The new base has a thread of M20 x 1.5MM. Now, if you have the adaptor, you can go grab any M20 x 1.5MM filter from the auto store that will work. I used a Fram, but for the life of me, I cannot think of the number. I did not have to loosen the stator cover to get the filter off. I will update the post with the filter I am using with the adapter kit installed. *UPDATE 4/5/2011* I am using a Fram PH6607 with my adapter kit for my 73 TX500.

scarfs Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hey guys, just bought a 73' tx500 for my first bike, and ive been restoring it. It was sitting for about 13 years. I seem to be able to find all the parts i need except a reasonable oil filter. I found this site in my searches for a solution and read about the adapters. Ive tried ebay and NW parts already. NW has original filters i believe but they run around 30$ and im not sure how many are available. There's also one on ebay but its 70$! Im looking for a more permanent solution. Does anybody know if any of those adapters or another solution is available anywhere? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
