Here is some info:

http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/oilfilters.html

*1) K&N indicates 1999-2002 Drifter 800's should use KN-303 or 303C.
These are the same size/specs as the 204, excepting the relief valve pressure is 18.13psi vs 14.5psi on the 204 and KN-303 is 3.346in(85mm) in height, vs 2.953(75mm) on the KN-204.

This is the Oilfilter for the 99-00 Drifters

And this is the one for the newer Drifters

This last filter has been installed on my bike...

I've just returned from my 45.000 service. My Garage is not using original Kawa oilfilter, but an aftermarket one. Curiously, there are two different filters. The first one for the 99-00 Drifter C, the second one for the newer Drifters.
The only differenve is that the first filer is 1cm longer than the second. Diameter is the same (obvious), but the filter is 1cm longer.
The garage has installed in my bike the second filter, although my bike is a C from 99.

Have you heard about this before? And should make them change the filter into the first one, or that ridiculous differenve in size will not affect me in any way. I change oil and oilfilter each 5000/6000kms...

Thanks in advance....
