The first upgrade I do on every motorcycle, been using the PC Racing FLO and Scott's for years. Great review and additional information on the FLO HERE
Yep reusable for me too! My evo loves the greater oil flow and the magnet at the base is a bonus. Since going to the high flow reusable I get fewer oil light flickers at hot idle when in traffic on those scorcher days.
HD dealer or K&N (depending on how much time I have... lol). I know that Wix filters are very good too, but they must be the proper filter at the proper flow rate (our engine's being relatively low-oil-pressure types).
I'll bite--I've always seen these "reusable" filters advertised, but never really felt like I could trust wire mesh to filter down to the "microns" level. I could be wrong, but I just thought paper or cloth filters were significantly more efficient.
They are as far as filtering. Even most Jet engine I work on with these type of filters on them have a paper/cloth element scavenge filter installed as the last link.
I run the Hf171 filter.Black with a nut.I actually called them today and wanted to know what media is in it.She said she couldn't tell me because it's an Oem filter.I asked if they made them for K&N and she said no.So I asked if they made them for Harley and she said she couldn't tell me that and then said,What's a Harley?And she was speaking plain English.I wasn't sent over seas when I asked for the technical dept.I do know they are rated with a European standard.I don't know what to think about the conversation.
Had a K&P filter for over 6yrs on 3 different bikes with well over 100,000 mi. I change the oil regularly every 5000 mi and sample sent in yearly with great results. JMO

And.... we're off
I have a new Ness filter like this, haven't got around to putting it on. Every time I think about doing it, I think I don't want to hassle cleaning the filter and make sure I keep the filtered side of the mesh free of any metal or debris while cleaning its.
Stock filters are so cheap and throw away.
