Kinda like a washable condom?Yeah I'll take the disposable kind thankyouverymuch

 

At 8 bucks a pop,it will pay for itself in less than 13 oil changes...plan to get one myself.

 

What do you wash them out in?? Gas, soap and water..?

13 filters is 4 years to me, I'll be lucky to have this bike by year Five...It will be pushing 100K....

How many times can you wash it before it needs replacing?

 

Bertha came with one of these. It's got magnets that catch "stuff". I just finished changing the oil and cleaning the filter. Kind of a PIA if you ask me........

 

K&N currently "owns" the aftermarket filter industry with a very powerful and effective advertising system. Its kind of like the big new push of " E 3 spark plugs " ., as George Carlin said ... its all BullShit and its bad for ya.
Just purchase the best available oil filter and oil and change out when your manual advises .
To see how your oil filter is doing , try exchanging your oil drain bolt for a magnetized automotive drain bolt of same size .

 

Sort of like cleaning a vacuum bag or using cloth diapers. Absurd in my opinion for someone who has a glutton for punishment. Stupid throw away is nasty enough for me.

 

Owns the aftermarket industry? How did you come to that conclusion?

Their sales are probably a drop in the bucket compared to Fram.

And as far as aftermarket for Harley, I would bet that HD sells more filters than any aftermarket company.

Although I have been using Wix filters, the newest ones I got were made in Mexico, so once those are gone it will be HD filters for my bikes.

No cleanable oil filters for me, I have enough to do already. If I had a filter that needed to be cleaned, I would probably extend the oil change interval just because it is no longer a simple process.

We used to use cleanable oil filters on jet engines, but I haven`t seen one for at least 30 years.

 

Just $200.00................LIFETIME.................

 

Need to find an old toilet paper roll filter and start marketing it for HD's. Worked really good and everybody has toilet paper rolls at home.
