Default Reusable Oil Filters

So I have been running a K&P for a while on my SGS; pretty happy with it as it works well and seems to keep the oil temps down a bit.

I now have added an '05 Springer to the stable and am looking to get another reusable oil filter for her as well. Only thing is, the K&P product runs ~$150; I found another product from PC Racing for ~$50 cheaper.

Anyone use either and have a preference? Is one superior over the other or are both pretty much the same?

I have the PCRacing unit, nicely made. It looks to me that most of these unit have the same filter element, just using their own housing. Mines new as of a month so no long term opinions

I've had one like that on my 05 Spinger for several years. The mechanics that work on my bike also use that filter and recommended that I try it on my Springer. No issues so far and it's already paid for itself.

DK custom sells a outlaw filter which has the flo outside and the k&p inside so you get the best of both. K&P - USA , flo China knock off. I had the two side by side they look the same except the magnet size. The mesh looks the same but K&P has the 30 micron absolute rating and flo has no rating. I do like the flo outside it has the nut.

Working on a relocation for filter now as I don't like the filter on it's side with no anti drain back vavle.
