Just an fyi...US gas is roughly 30 per cent cheaper than Cdn so you're still ahead of the game on that front. Mongrel, I'm in Hamilton and just picked up an '86 K100RT...not sure if she'll be naked yet or not. Lots of work to do to get this bike going/ roadworthy. Question - are the K75 and K100 filters interchangeable?

Thanks. Pray for an early Spring!!

Thanks Robert. And a note to anyone else north of the 49th...the Quaker State QS3614 is available at Canadian Tire for $7.49. You can buy a Fram oil filter wrench for this filter also at CT for $7.99. I've read somewhere that you might have to grind/ cut the flared end off the filter to get it up into the housing. It's a steel wrench...should last a good long while. Picked up the Napa Gold fuel filter that Johnny spec'd for the bike...I think it was $9. All in all not too bad. I might check to see if there's an alternative air filter to the BMW offering...
