- October 23, 2014, 05:55:35 AMNo, it uses a cartridge type filter in a heavy duty case. The case looks a lot like a spin on filter with a nut on the end. Not all bikes needed the recall. Look behind your kickstand on the side of the engine and get the number. If it's between 121281 and 128445 you need the recall.
At least that's what I've come to understand. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the replacement cartridge.
It kinda sucks that I have three filters left from my roadstar that fit the drifter. I also have two cases of 20-50 Mobil 1 v-twin oil I possibly can't use.
Oh well, small price to pay for owning such a gorgeous bike........

I have a 2003, and it uses the spin-on filter, I believe it's the same as all the other 1500s.

- October 21, 2014, 16:22:05 PMOk, I've got a 2003 that has had the recall done, and I'm a little unclear on what that means. Do I have to buy a special filter now? What, exactly, did they do to change it.
Thanks.
Brad.
