Anyone know who makes Triumphs filters?

[Robenstein]

Just had my 500 miles service done, for free which was cool. Anyways does anyone know who makes Triumph's oil filters for them? Just curious what I have on my bike.

I would be willing to bet that those filters are made by Thai Yang Kitpasian (aka Filtro/HiFloFiltro) who is the OEM of many bike manufacturers & major supplier of the bike filter aftermarket.

A search of some bike forums would likely confirm my hunch.

Well I am gonna cut it open and post pics when I get to the point to change the oil again.

Many manufacturers ship an engine with a different filter than what is sold at the dealerships.

That could make for a confusing story about who makes Triumph filters.

Yeah, a good example is the Champ Labs filters installed on factory Fords, but Purolater-made Motorcraft filters sold in the aftermarket.
