I used a K & N filter on my 2004 Sportster after it was out of warranty. I really liked the 17mm nut on the end. I did notice that the chrome finish on the K & N was not as nice as the HD filters. I will be sticking with the HD filter on the new Fatty.

Heck, after reading the link that Glider posted, I'm going to try and find myself a Purolator(cross ref). It has the anti-drain back and the pressure relief valve in it!! I'll paint the thing the same color as my bike. All for less than 1/3rd the cost of a HD stealer!!--- Put me in some Mobil 1 syn V-Twin motor oil, some spectro gear oil in the tranny and some uh------lets see I don't know what to put in the Primary yet--maybe have to go with the HD formula +(any suggestions out there?----Good thread and posts. Lots of insite!!

Hard to beat the formula + for now.

Bluesugar · May 7th, 2008, 09:35 PM

Will do Glider!----Hey, if I can find the cross reference Purolator filter, I'll buy an extra and cut it in half, will do the same with the old HD-63798-99 filter and compare their innards. Will post my results if I think it to be useful.

Nothing like a $200.00 oil change, Welcome to CANADA where HD is two Hundred Bucks. But amsoil is a great product. Is the Screaming Eagle brand as good? Who knows but the Chrome Filter from HD is a must.

Not IMO, it's not a full synthetic but rather a hydro cracked dino oil that has been modified. For the same price or cheaper, I would go with a full synthetic oil.
