Auto Parts Store Oil Filters
Has anyone tried an auto part store oil filter (NAPA, Wix, Fram) on your Harley? Any thoughts?

I've run MoCo, Fram, Wix and Mobil 1, ( whatever's convenient,) and my bike is still running just fine...
(Although after seeing how they're all assembled, I won't run Fram anymore.)

I usually run a Purolator pure one on mine. I spray paint it black though.

I wouldn't put a POS Fram on anything I owned.
That being said, I get my K&N filters thru AutoZone.

I have run HD and Fram... 70000 miles on the motor now and it's fine...Wix, Napa and Wal mart are suppose to be ok also...Fram gets a bad rep but i am pretty sure they have stayed in business this long by putting out a halfway decent product...I worked at Advance auto and we sold tons of them...Never heard of one messing up a motor...
