Chrome oil filter - $16.95
O-ring - $1.10
Taking your money on these overpriced parts without so much as a kiss on the neck - PRICELESS!

I found a wix chrome filter for $12 at Auto Zone. Where can I buy a $0.03 o-ring and not have to spend over a dollar for it (i know its cheap but there's a point here)

Did you at least get the HOG member discount (10%)? May not be much, but every little bit helps...

probably should say "my local dealer" since I don't own it and didn't buy the bike there. I did buy my plugs at Auto Zone.

Keep looking, you can find cheaper filters than WIX. I think I paid $7 for a H-D filter last time I bought one. Bought a whole bag of O-rings (100?) from McMAster-Carr for less than $10.

OK you got the cost of parts covered, what about the kiss on the neck? The last time I was in Auto Zone I would have stabbed one of those people if they had kissed me on the neck.
