Which K&N oil filter are you guys using that doesn't seat properly?  I
just put one on The Boss's viffer, I think it was a #303 IIRC but will
have to check.  I thought I'd read somewhere that viffer and ST oil
filters are the same so was thinking about trying a K&N...if there is a
number that doesn't fit help me avoid a mess!

I didn't notice the part number, just that it was the one intended for the 
Triumph.  According to the parts monkey behind the counter at the Triumph 
dealer.  Use at own risk, YMMV, etc, etc, etc
