I've seen a few oil filter kits fitted to 180s, but can't recall seeing any on 120s.  This Morgo kit seems pretty compact http://www.morgo.co.uk/15-morgo-oil-filter-kit and with at least two oil changes per year if I could halve that frequency it would have paid for itself in short order (decent 20/50 is about 35 to 40 quid for 5 litres in my local shop) as well as keeping my nice new engine free of crud.
 
The roller bearings cut up the long chain molecules quite effectively so the oil deteriorates by this method rather than by sludging up.
Oil is cheaper than engine rebuilds.
 
Yeah, I know the chopping up thing, although I'm pretty sure Harleys and BMWs have roller bottom ends and filters.  Also, Red has just put one on that Motodd he's doing, is he barking up the wrong tree?

I don't want to try to extend the period between oil changes too much, but 3000 miles is better than 1500.  Shit, on holiday 1500 miles can be three or four days riding.
 
Cmon, if you're off on a long trip and you double your oil change interval, the engine ain't going to blow up.
Those engines will outlive us whatever and probably be outlawed well before.

Well OK, fair point.  But I still fancy the idea of a filter, just don't remember seeing one on a 120.
 
OK.  Looks like the Morgo kit would go there nicely- it's only 56mm diameter- pretty compact.  Any reason it couldn't go higher than the oil cooler- behind the fairing somewhere?

Very pleased how the filter worked on the 3C, cleaner oil for longer.

Got all the necessary bits for my RGS, just haven't got around to fitting it yet.  Will be a H-D base using a H-D filter, cheap and easy to source, mounted similarly under the swingarm pivot.
