Default K&N oil filters for Harley

Wondering how many have tried the K&N oil filter with the nut on the end. I tired of messing with Harleys oil filters and fighting to get them off. Yes I have the oil filter wrench with the notch cut in it. Still a pain on my Ultra Limited. Do you feel that the K&N are good filters. Thanks for the opinions

Yep buy on Amazon and one less item to dick with. Too easy to pass up the socket removal of the filter.

Another vote for K&N. I buy them several at a time from Amazon. I also get my Castrol Power RS V-Twin oil on Amazon.

So even if you get Harley’s wrench it’s still a pain? So far the dealer has done the 1K & 5K but I plan on doing the next change this summer.

i installed a remote oil filter relocation kit on my ultra classic. Makes oil filter changes quick and clean!! Relocates the oil filter below left passenger floor board area.

Yes on the K&N!!! It's not so much of a pain but HD put that damn sensor right next to the filter.....

They are the only filters I use. I should probably do like everyone else and buy them on amazon so that I don't have to go out and buy them when the time comes. Which seems to be about 4-6 weeks to an oil change right now.
