Not sure if I'm right but in my notes I have it as a 21mm with a 14mm
hole. Don't have a p/n but the one from the Honda VFR800 is the same.

Can't seem to find any Mobil-1 motorcycle oils in stores here, but have
always felt since going 6k between changes that I got my money's worth out
of the 4T from the cycle shop. I think it's $46-$48/gallon here?
If there is a more generic Mobil-1 at a better price I'd like to find it.
Someone else posted they paid over $30 for a filter recently, I think my
last one was around $14 for a Triumph filter. But dang if my size G
wrench will fit 'em, but hand-tight seems to be fine the last 2 changes.

This list and Micro$oft but I'm trying to resist, started plaing with OS-X
this weekend in hopes of abandoning the evil empire.
