I was hoping so and figured with the 1986 in front of it that's kindof the way it read but wasn't sure. Looks like one more part to add to my ongoing list of things to buy.

Bought mine before my first 1k miles service for my Seventytwo that I bought in June of 2014 (1st Harley); then after many passanger complaints, trade it in for a new Slim.
Yeah, for what the cost, you better keep it LOL

I use WD40 Dry Type bake cleaner from the inside out like when I clean my air filter.
Takes literally less than a twenty second spray till it looks like new.
The cleaner dryes in less than a minute.

For those of you on the fence; wait no longer. Probably the best investment you'll ever make for your pride and joy

 

Ive been running it all year with no problems.. wouldnt hesitate to buy again.

I ordered from dk customs and the also send an extra gasket ring incase the other goes bad.. thought that was nice.

 

Ok so these sound like contradictory statements to me. By having less drag on the oil pump its implying to me that you are allowing more oil to flow through the filter. By allowing more oil to flow through the filter you are allowing more contaminates through as well.

Just to give some numbers I know that AMSOIL filters go down to 15 micron which is the best on the market. Compared to something like a K&N filter that does 20 and FLO reusable filters can only filter out particles larger than 30 microns.

What level do your reusable filters go down to?

CUT/COPY/Paste directly from DK's site... "Before you start with the, “my filter is rated at 5 microns and it filters way better,” you need to understand just how the micron rating applies to oil filters. The HD OEM filters and aftermarket paper filters are rated on averages, percentages and multiple passes, so a 10-micron-rated paper filter may be letting particles 100 microns and larger through. The medical grade stainless steel cloth they use in their filters is consistent across the entire surface and is rated at 35 microns, meaning nothing larger than 35 microns will pass through the material, it is an absolute, with paper filters, the rating is an average. Additionally, paper filters have a bypass, so on startup & high RPM the oil is not being filtered at all!"

 

<p>I'm anxiously awaiting my first oil change since installing it.</p>

 

Still 35 microns is huge compared to what AMSOIL filters are capable of. Some copying and pasting from AMSOIL's site. To each their own but for me I never found the risk or extra contaminants and extremely high cost (compared to a high quality one use filter) worth it to me. This is a knock on all reusable a filters and not directed a DK's offering in particular.

Absolute Efficiency
Efficiency is the filter's ability to capture contaminants. The more efficient a filter is, the more contaminants it will remove from the oil. AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters have one of the best efficiency ratings in the automotive/light-truck market. Ea Oil Filters provide a filtering efficiency in accordance with industry standard ISO 4548-12 of 98.7 percent at 20 microns, while competitive filters demonstrate efficiencies as low as 51 percent (see graph).

Less Restriction
Proper oil flow is essential to keeping engine parts lubricated at all times. AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters' synthetic fibers are smaller than the fibers used in traditional filters, allowing Ea Oil Filters to provide lower restriction. During cold-temperature warmup periods, an Ea Oil Filter allows the oil to flow through the filter more easily than a typical cellulose filter does. Lower restriction decreases engine wear.

Contaminant Retention
A filter’s capacity refers to the amount of contaminants it can hold and still remain effective. AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters have a greater capacity for small, wear-causing contaminants than competing filter lines. They provide convenience and cost savings through extended service intervals.

Superior Construction
AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters are made with premium-grade full-synthetic media. The strictly controlled processing of this media ensures accurate filter construction and is what allows Ea Oil Filters to deliver higher capacity and efficiency along with better durability.

Ea Oil Filters' full-synthetic media technology is resin-free to resist degradation from hot oil. It uses a wire screen backing that is pleated with the media for superior strength. Ea Oil Filters are constructed with HNBR gaskets that are fully tested to extreme distances in numerous severe environments. They feature fully tucked seams, a molded element seal, roll-formed threads and a long-lasting, premium-grade silicone anti-drainback valve.

 

r the reusable filters anti back flow?

 

I might try one
