Thanks
Check the Help section, the tensioner's should be O.K. till at least 25,000 miles then check them.

The filters are made for the engine. With the small orifices in the piston oilers, anything with a bigger micron rating would let more/larger impurities pass through them and we know what happens then.

Re: proper oil filter?
I just picked up a HD chrome oil filter (63798-99A) from Biggs HD in San Marcos, CA. I found out my shop was using cheap imitation filters. I didn't want to ride to Sturgis with 5-micron thoughts in my head.
Number one reason for changing: because of this great forum. THANKS!

See a lot of that also I have seen were shop were not puting in the oil that you paid for.
Not madder what the micrron rating is it is best to use what YOUR engine calls for.
A more restrictive filer maybe what one engine needs and may cause failure in another.
Then there is the whole by pass issue with after market will fits.
