Posted this on the fjrowners.com site, too:

Both the HF204 and HF303's are $7.16/ea at Dennis Kirk:

I stocked up on both since I use the HF204 on the FJR but the I use the HF303 on the ST1100's. Yes, I know I can use the HF303 on the FJR. This thread was just to let everyone know about he good price. Everywhere else I've seen is around $11/ea.

If it's your first order, they also will send you a 10% off code. The HF204's are on backorder but that's fine. I should be set for couple of years on the ST's and several years for the FJR now.

I stocked up

Holy Moly! Did you leave any for anybody else? It's nice to save a piece of change on consumables. Nice find.

I normally use Mobil 1 M1-110 filters on the STs, but the HF204 on the Silverwing since there’s no M1 equivalent for it- that is a good price for the filter. Last time I bought one on eBay - maybe like $10

With 2 ST1100's (one is my wife's and one is my daughter's) I go through them twice as fast if you figure 2 oil changes/year at a minimum.

Hopefully, others will be able to save some money.

I saw a video a little while ago about some counterfeit HiFlo oil filters on the market so keep your eyes peeled!

I have a HiFlo on my 1300 right now and they appear to be great quality.

Can you be more specific regarding what criteria you used to determine these are 'great quality'?

M1-108 is the short version of the M1-110. HiFlo short is HF-204, medium HF-303 and long HF-148.
Canucks can buy the HiFlo's at FortNine for ~C$10

Well, out of the box it feels substantial and solid with a thick outer case and hefty weight. There were no metal flakes or dust around the threads and if you look inside there is no glue and the filter media appears spaced very evenly. I saw one cut open online and it had substantially more filter media that the other filters they opened. I've replaced a lot of oil filters in my time and this one just seems like good quality to me, hope this helps. This is my first experience with HiFlo and I would use them again.

HiFlo Filtro has been around for over half a century and reportedly makes many OEM's too. I've cut many filters apart and agree the HiFlo's are top notch.

This is good to know as sometimes the M1-110A is a tighter fit (between the side panel and getting the filter threaded) on the 94 because of the oil cooler that fits under the filter- a shorter filter may be an easier fit.
