You took the words right outta my mouth.
I don't know why there is all the anti-Fram propaganda online. I have used them and other brands for 45 years or so, and have never had problems.

Well, this is sorta sad...
It looks like Napa is selling K&N motorcycle filters now for ye olde motorbikes (under their "Balkamp" label for some reason). If you look at the photo, it's clearly marked "KN-133" and comes with o-rings for 8 and 16 valve engines. (Yes, the filter is the same Suzuki part number).

Not that long ago -- a matter of months -- Napa sold very nice Wix filters under their house brand -- PS24931 with the 3-lobe o-ring for the 8-valve engines, PS24932 for the 16 valve engines with the 5-lobe o-ring. Now they just sell the K&N.
The K&N is a perfectly fine filter, but the damn thing is about $5 more than it used to be...
Oh well.
At least they're still selling Wix filters under their brand for newer bikes, like my V-Strom.

If I recall the Hyflo filter # is HF133, almost the same as the K&N KN-133

Hmmmm....
And it's the same bizarro pink color....
Hmmmmm. Hmmmmmmm...... makes you think, doesn't it?
The think I'm thinking, is that K&N doesn't have a tree full of Keebler elves gluing together filters for weird old bikes. They're buying them from some other supplier and sticking them in their boxes.
Now, who could that supplier possibly be?
Hmmm?
(In case it's not immediately clear, HiFloFiltro makes very nice oil filters. Get them as cheap as you can without worrying too much about the name on the box.)

Would this be the same oil filter for my 1982 GS650G? Not sure what part ID to look for.

Thanks, but how do I check the gasket in advance?
Where in Canada can I walk in and buy Suzuki filter 16510-45040 or equivalent?
