RSV Fuel filter. Alternatives.

Hello again.
A little while ago I was asking the best place to buy acessories on line cus I needed a new fuel filter. The genuine Aprilia ones sell for between £22 and £36 plus postage. Im sure you can find one for less but they are expensive none the less so I asked if anyone knew an alternative....and got no answer.:dunno

So I took mine out and did a bit of measuring and found that the following filter will do the job.
They are all the same filter type but I have included all the manufacturers that I could find to give you the maximum chance to find one locally to you. They even sell them in Halfords called the the HFF232 but its nearly £13 in there and my local motor factor supplied me one for £8.73 delivered.....bargain.

Its a bit fatter and longer than the std one but theres plenty of space (a whole fuel tank in fact!!!) so it fits fine. The hose fittings are 8mm, same as std (at least that was the size on my 2001 RSV Mille R but its made by Italians so we could all have different sizes!!!).

Hope it proves useful for someone.
