About the 2CV filters :
A coworker  is using that kind of filter on is race track 748 (or 9 
never seen the bike) and  his 620 monster to go to work  (70 000 km and 
counting).
With complete satisfaction
I bought one  at Citroen's for 8 euro. it is a  purflux ls131( 
http://www.filtrauto.com/catalogues/FO/scripts/cat_fich_filtre.php?lang=FR&ref_filtre=LS131)
Ducati OEM is 8,30 euro, saw it at the supermarket for 8,5 euro ! There 
aren't many 2cv left on the roads spare parts are getting rare, but the 
widespread availlability of these filters kept Ducati's prices low

I cut the LS131 open to check the amount of paper and pressure valve, I 
still have to cut the Ducati open. Will post pictures later.
