1. My oil filter screen has a big rip in it. Anyone know where I can
get a
replacement? Mark???

2. When taking the screen off I noticed some chrome "chips" in the gunk
inside the oil screen. I've heard the tales of flaking chrome, but when

should I take it seriously? It was around 10-15 very small flakes. The

bike runs very well, so do I have to spend for new cylinders and pistons
or
can I put it off until I see big flakes and lousy compression?

Thanks.

Rich,
What color are the flakes in the screen? and are they really flakes or
are they like grains of sand? I had a bike with flaking chrome but
really don't remember finding much in the screen. Oil consumption and
poor ring seal were my first indications of trouble.
