best oil filter. thinking K&N?

 

Stock filter is your best filter, unless you really like the convenience of having that hex thing on it

 

Doesn't really matter unless you ignore regular oil changes

 

This one HERE

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




And.... we're off

 

K&N is what i use,the nut on the filter makes taking it off very easy too

 

thanks for the input and yes thinking easier to deal with having the nut on the end

 

Absolutely K/N, get em @Amazon 171-C (Chrome $13.14), or 171-B (Black $12.50).
17mm (11/16") nut on the bottom makes it easy.
Very good filter media inside. I buy 3 or 4 at a time, free shipping.
Ride safe!

I get it bro. My brand is PurePower:

 

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.

 

Without launching into a diatribe, these ss permanent filters are way superior in filtering capability to paper element filters. The dirty little secret is that your 5 micron paper filter doesn't even prevent the flow of 100 micron particles through it. Google "Nominal" vs "Absolute" oil filter ratings to get the entire story.
