I started using a Pro Flo cleanable filter. Some will say they're not worth it. YRMV.

Prior to that I used the K&N filter. KN171C
There is a WIX that some swear by.

To answer the OP, I've started using the K&N. With the nut on the end.
Just ordered 4 on Amazon; $9.72 each for chrome, free shipping. Gotta love Prime!

Never forget JC Whitney's toilet paper roll filter.
But, yeah I've gotten the chrome K&N with the nut on the end on Amazon.

KN171C is a good chrome one and easy off and on. HiFlo makes as good, with the nut for a few bucks less. I use the oil filter from D2Moto, Volar OF-15 which is the generic labeled HiFlo. I get them for about $3.50 each, free shipping, no tax and 35% several times a year. I buy 'em 6 at a time because they go on back order. They have a bypass and back flow valve, and a nut welded on. I have used them for 4 years, no issues. Only avail in black.

I use the K&N in black because black filters are faster....Everybody knows that. Get them at Amazon.
