This allows you to replace the stock Honda CX500/GL500/CX650/GL650/GL700/CX400/GL400 oil filter with one of several standard automotive spin-on filters, which are much more universally stocked at parts stores. You also gain the benefit of a larger filter using newer filtering technology and increasing oil capacity for better cooling and lower oil temperature.
There are two variants available—the original and one for shorter metric filters. The first variant allows for larger oil filters, which is good for long highway rides and cools the oil more, and the metric variant allows for more compact oil filters.
The Original Style adapter is compatible with 13/16″ thread Bypass Filters
Metric style (shorter) fits M20 thread Filters
WIX 51390 or your pick.
In the photos below, the orange filter is for the original style, and the white is for the metric/shorter style.

Simple and easy process from order to delivery

Quality machining, dimensions and thread sizes correct. I bought this to adapt a sandwich plate, oil cooler and ultimately twin turbochargers to a 1980 Honda CX500C.

Worked great! Had to paint the oil filter to match the bike.
