I went to the dealer today and bought an oil filter for my 450r, these have always been expensice $11.95, and two liters of Bel-Ray 20w-50 thumper, usually $6.99 a liter. Well i go to check out and the total was $32.11. I was like wtf, its noramly $25. Well due to riseing gas prices the filters went up 80 cents, and the oil, nearly $2 a liter. Just goes to show you that gas effects all mechandise. I was wondering what other people are paying for Bel-Ray Thumper and filters?

:huh Isn't it great how prices of EVERYTHING are skyrocketing! that's everything but are sallaries :grr: everytime you turn around prices are going up from gum to housing. I wish my paycheck would rise like that. Imo ,there is going to be no middle class in this country pretty soon. Your either going to be rich, or lower class:rolleyes: Im heading out today to buy some c12; usually buy a couple gallons so this will be my first time getting it this year. probably gonna have to refinance my house so I can afford some:blah:

:eek: when I said above I was getting a couple gallons of c12 I meant 2 or 3, 5 gallon drums:p i wanted to restate thay cause I know SOMEONE would have picked up on that and have something sarcastic to say::D

What kind of oil filter are u getting for $12?! I get K&Ns for 5.50

yeah this is kind of diff from what your saying to but due to rising metal cost it is now costing $.0125 to make a penny and $.06 to make a nickle. I seen it on CNN last night.

an oem oil filter at my local shop was only $8...retail was $10...might want to find another dealer...

I get all my oil filters (which are Hi Flo which are identical to the K&N, made by same company) for like $18 for 7 filters. There is a guy from Alabama that sells them all the time on ebay. In fact, he's on there now, just do a search on:
