Lot's of people I know use Supertech car filters on their bikes. As long as the spec's are ok, it's fine.

Wouldn't the car filters come up on a cross reference chart IF they were truly acceptable alternate filters for motorcycles?

where'd you find the specs on what filtration level your bike needs?
where'd you find the specs on how many lbs of pressure before the bypass opens?

Here is the motorcycle/car filter cross ref. link and some recommendations on which filer brand - Pure One - seem best:

Cant find the link where I got this but a guy did a study and like others have said, you can use car filters on bikes. I use purolator pure one PL14610 on my 2002 kawasaki ninja zx9r, which is about 1 1/4" longer than oem.
About 3.25 inches long.

I have a CBR600RR sportbike. My car is an Acura RSX Type S.
The RSX uses an M1-110 oil filter. From what I've read, the M1-110's bypass psi is about 11-17psi, whereas the stock Honda bike filter has an 8 psi bypass valve. Yes, they're fairly close.
Looks like I can use this filter for my bike.
